This 3D printed replacement lid kit is custom-designed to fit the Thrive brand 30-gallon terrarium, which measures 18" Γ— 18" Γ— 24" and features a front-opening door.
Please note β€” this is a kit for you to assemble, and it does not include the glass panel.

πŸͺ΄ Terrarium not included.
⚠️ This lid rests securely by gravity β€” it does not lock down.

🧩 Kit Components & Design

Our TV Series lid is composed of 4 precision 3D-printed pieces:

  • One bar for each side

  • One bar for the front

  • One bar for the back

The front and back bars each feature built-in fine 3D-printed mesh.
These connect with the side bars to form the complete lid frame.

The glass center panel (not included) is held securely in place with plastic pressure tabs, ensuring a snug, clean fit with no tools required.

βš™οΈ Functional Details

Each lid includes six versatile port holes β€” one in each corner, plus one at the front center and back center.
Every port includes a flush screw-in plug, allowing multiple configuration options:

  • Misting nozzle adapters: Accept standard misting systems (sold separately).

  • Feeder caps: Provide easy access for feeding or watering without opening the enclosure.

  • Cord pass-through: Back corner holes align with tank cutouts, suitable for cords (but not large plug heads). Optional cord pass-through caps are available for a tighter seal.

  • Solid vent inserts: Optional plastic inserts that install under the lid, over the mesh to block airflow and maintain higher humidity.

πŸͺŸ Glass Panel (Not Included)

For safety and convenience, glass is not included.
You can have glass cut to size at Lowe’s or most hardware stores β€” usually for free.

Glass opening size: 14 9/16” x 16 1/3".
Recommended glass size: 14 1/2" x 16 1/4" β€” cut approximately 1⁄16" smaller than the opening to accommodate the 5 mm lip.

Compatible glass thicknesses:

  • Standard 3⁄32" regular glass (recommended)

  • 1⁄8" or tempered glass (optional)

⚠️ Safety tip: Always sand freshly cut glass edges with fine-grit sandpaper to remove sharpness.

πŸ•ΈοΈ Mesh Vents

Each vent section includes fine 3D-printed mesh that:

  • Won’t rust or corrode

  • Prevents fruit flies and gnats from escaping

  • Is safe for tarantulas, frogs, and other small animals (no toe-catching)

Optional solid vent inserts can be installed over the mesh to completely block airflow for high-humidity setups.

πŸ•ΈοΈTank Vents

We also sell Tank Vent Inserts for the Factory vents that are located on the tank. The inserts can make the mesh finer so insects don’t escape or solid to block airflow. Check the Thrive section of our shop.

πŸ› οΈ Assembly

The lid ships as a snap-together kit with detailed instructions.
Assembly takes only a few minutes β€” no tools or glue required.

🧑 Customization

Need something custom?
We’re happy to help β€” simple modifications are often done free of charge, while more complex adjustments may involve a small fee.
