The only thing that would make this tutorial better would be links to the products. I'm having trouble finding exactly what I want for my first jumping spider, so I'm DIYing one. This helps so much!
This legit one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen. Thanks for making

What where the measurements of all the acrylic parts used?
These look amazing! May I ask what brand of acrylic glue and what sized drill bit you used?
@dnadesignn
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! It doesn't has a brand because it is a local product and the drill bit size is around 2.2 mm, but I suggest you to use 3 mm drill bit, for a better air circulation.

Wow this looks really good. I'm hoping to build something similar. May I ask if the drill bit you used is one of the nail drill attachments or the long protruding thing that comes out of the nail drill that the drill attachments fit onto?
@dnadesignn

I don't really get what you mean by drill attachments but here's what I can explain 😂 The nail drill comes with several drill bits that are used for sanding, not for making holes. So I bought a new drill bit and a drill collet that matches the drill bit size. I attached the drill bit by putting the collet in the nail drill.

So i was thinking of making one of these for my pet spider when i get it, but i searched up "acrylic glue fuse toxic fumes" and it said it takes months for the glue to stop giving off fumes, and i think it will kill the spider, so i want your opinion on this because you make these enclosures for your spiders. Will the fumes kill my spiders?
hello What glue did you use? Acrylic does not mean anything....

Acrylic is the same thing as plexiglass. Just search acrylic glue or plexiglass glue and you should fine it.

It's called acrylic glue, specially used only for acrylics.
Would this be sturdy enough for a big tarantula? obviously a bigger version, I'm just scared in case it falls apart and have a spider running around again😅

Use thicker acrylic and acrylic corner brackets so that you don't need to worry about that 😁
I want to make a door with size 1ft × 2ft 3mm, will the glue with acrylic hinge will be durable? What do you think?

You can use larger hinges and also consider using thicker acrylics maybe 4mm at least

One more question. Is your glue fast to dry? Cuz i have this problem my syringe is always stuck due to fast drying glue. I already did use 4 of my syringe always get stuck inside the needle.
Would the acrylic warp from humidity?

Not from humidity but from heat, it could bend a bit. Use thicker acrylics for stronger structure 👍

What are you using to cut the acrylic with?

I bought the sheets already cut like that. They use laser to cut it smoothly, and there is a tool you can use to cut it manually, it's an acrylic cutter.
Is all the sheet cut in same size Or some pieces need to be bigger?
@dnadesignn
Жыл бұрын
Some pieces need to be bigger, of course, if you want to have it glued nice and tidy. Some part of the sheets you have to add the size by the thickness of the sheet. Also, if you want to make the enclosure taller or wider.
