Almost everyone loves fish, but almost nobody likes the maintenance involved with aquariums. Well that was before the H.O.G. Scrubber.
Now what is a Hog Scrubber? It’s a new type of aquarium filter that cleans the tank water by growing algae inside the filter. It can also feed your fish. This means healthy fish, no algae problems and no need to change the water every week!
Where does 3D printing come into it? Last week I read an article about a 3D printed mold that could be attached to the outside of an aquarium .The mold consists of magnets that remove chemicals such as chlorine from water. The most traditional method involves injection molding, which is costly. This led to a clever innovator coming up with a solution using a desktop 3D printer.
The Hog Scrubber is unlike any filter you may have at home. It’s a completely new kind of fish tank cleaner. This is just one of t
he way in which 3D printing printer is helping people think creatively about ordinary solutions.
