The reef aquarium hobby is truly a global community and every major region has its own specialties in how they build reefs, and how they design reef aquarium gear. Eastern Europe is an insular hotspot with influence from both Europe and Asia, and more than its fair share of DIY ethos.
例子是新的A&C 150xxsQ protein skimmerdesigned by Aleksandr Loginov which is bursting at the seams with innovation. Few of the individual features on their own are industry firsts per se, but how they are all incorporated into an extremely space-saving design using original 3D printed parts is the real novelty.
The A&C 150 includes an开放式焊接针头泵，3D打印的针头，无管子水位调节以及可控制的直流电动机，可通过基本的无线速度控制增强。与典型的蛋白质撇油器相比，仅查看撇渣器的身体，似乎缺少很多零件，但是使用3D打印的组件使Loginov可以打包该撇渣器正确运行所需的一切。
入口和出口在撇渣器本身的底部内整齐地分离，而水位调节板则由盖子的简单扭曲控制，并通过中央安装的轴连接，但仍然可移动。可调节的水位与无线针头泵一起可为用户提供非常精确的泡沫生产调节，该泡沫生产能够每小时生产多达600升空气。
如果有onelittle detail we’d love to see experimented with is that since the needle wheel is 3D printed, why not experiment a little bit with the design? The needle wheel impeller used in this skimmer is fairly contemporary, and that very well might be the best design for a reason.
However we’ve always been interested in seeing moregridwheel style impellersthat are only possible with 3D printing. And while he’s at it, Mr. Loginov ought to spend some of his creative energy on making a better air silencer, maybe one with successive chambers, spiral shaped noise reduction, or some other combination of baffles to completely eradicate the noise that the air draw creates.
The various features necessary to make an ideal, extremely optimized protein skimmer design really lends itself well to creativity and the imagination, and the A&C 150xxsQ is a tour de force of what is possible.
