WRIGGLE FARM
Mealworms are the basis of all of our animal habitats. The Wriggle Farm is a simple, two-layer, self-contained unit designed to be easily 3D printed and built by anyone with access to a 3D printer. Feel free to download if you want to build your own farm! You will need 40 mesh wire, stainless steel. This will help separate the mealworm frass (poop) while still keeping the eggs and babies above the mesh.
The file can be expanded to make any size of mealworm farm.

This is the result. As you can see, it is quite dark inside. This can be improved by choosing a black PLA instead of white.

This is the first version of the model. There are issues, so I still need to work on it; which is why, instead of providing you with the final slicer files, I added the Tinkercad file below. This way you can prototype and fix it yourself. As it is, it still works!
