Trials and prototypes

Post your builds, private or commercial set ups. This is where we will document the creation of housing or the planning and construction of projects from scratch. This differs from the Journal Section because this section does not concentrate on the Ants or the other animals that are being kept, this section focuses on the progress of the build.

Yes, but I was wondering what type of glue :D
Do You think small screws would be better?

Not a good idea to screw into acrylic, especially a cylinder. Tensol adhesive works nest with acrylic to acrylic surfaces.

I've recently joined the forum and just read through this tread for the first time. What an interesting story of product development and adaptation. Congratulations on a great innovation.
