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

🪴 Terrarium not included.
⚠️ This lid rests securely by gravity — it does not lock down.

🧩 Kit Components & Design

Our TV Series lid is composed of six 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.

⚙️ Functional Details

Each lid includes six versatile port holes — 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.

🪟 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 — usually for free.

Glass opening size: 14 9/16" x 16 1/3"
Recommended glass size: 14 1/2" x 16 1/4" — 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.

🕸️ 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.

🛠️ Assembly

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

🧡 Customization

We’re happy to help — simple modifications are often done free of charge, while more complex adjustments may involve a small fee.
