- About 5⅞ × 5⅞ × 1⅜ in; one-piece PETG
- Colonies
- 4 separate colonies
- Ports
- 8 × AA-01 (a port and a vent per quadrant)
Four Corners houses four separate colonies in one PETG body, about 5⅞ × 5⅞ × 1⅜ in. Each quadrant has its own built-in reservoir, printed mesh humidity floor and independently opening slide-in acrylic lid.
Fill each reservoir through its own side fill/overflow hole until water runs back out, then close it with its Fill Plug. Four Fill Plugs are included. Provide each colony with its own drinking-water source.
Each quadrant has an AA-01 connection port and a vent. Two straight side-to-side heat channels warm the outer chambers, one channel for each pair of colonies. Use a thermostat and keep a cooler area.
Four nests in one print
No air or ant path connects the quadrants. Four founding queens, four species or a test group.
One port and one vent per colony
Eight AA-01 ports at standard link height.
