{"product_id":"round-ventilated-feeding-access-hatch-mini","title":"3D-Printed PETG Ventilated Feeding Hatch for Reptile \u0026 Invertebrate Bins","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpgrade your tub habitats and rack setups with secure, low-stress daily access. Designed specifically for reptile tubs and invertebrate enclosures, this 3D-printed feeding hatch eliminates the risk and disruption of opening an entire bin lid during routine care. Featuring an integrated mesh screen for continuous fresh air exchange and dual swivel-locking tabs, this port lets you drop in feeder insects, mist localized substrate, or access inhabitants without triggering stress or giving flighty species an open escape path. Precision-crafted in durable PETG, it clamps directly to container walls using a mechanical sandwich design—requiring zero messy glues, melting hot adhesives, or off-gassing chemical silicones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Installation Guide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAccess Port Cutout:\u003c\/b\u003e Using a standard 2\" hole saw (or utility cutter), drill the main access hole at your desired height on the flat wall of your enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePilot Hole Preparation:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark and drill two small 1\/8\" (approx. 3mm) pilot holes on opposite sides of the opening for the mounting screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSandwich Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Position the inner and outer hatch collars flush against the tub wall, sandwiching the plastic bin directly between both pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLocking Tab Securing:\u003c\/b\u003e Thread the hardware into the aligned holes using a 3mm hex key.
