Description
NESTRIX Pieza de cierre It is the small 3D-printed piece used to securely close any connection port on your NESTRIX modules. It prevents leaks, maintains controlled humidity, and protects your colony against accidental escapes, while also allowing you to easily open the port—by swapping it for the opening piece—whenever you want to expand your setup.
Key features:
- 100% secure closure: Snaps into the slots, preventing the most adventurous ants from finding an unexpected way out.
- Easy to install and remove: Ergonomic design featuring a tab or grip that allows the part to be inserted and removed in seconds, without tools.
- 100% 3D-printed design: Lightweight, durable, and perfectly fitted for all side, top, and bottom ports.
- Reusable and shape-retaining: You can use it thousands of times without it losing its effectiveness.
Ideal for:
- Keep the setup secure while the colony is small or during transport.
- Temporarily close a port while preparing for an expansion.
- Any configuration where not all ports are in use (practically all real-world setups).
With NESTRIX locking piece You have total control: you close what you aren’t using and open up when you’re ready to expand using the opening piece. Simple, effective, and a must-have for any professional colony. The piece that says, “Not even a scout ant gets past here… until you decide otherwise!”
Note: The opening and closing components are only required for modules that are connected to one another. If a port is not connected to another module, a 10mm plug can also be used to close the setup.
