Here's some pics to show how I did it.

Thanks for the support last time. Idk how quick I'll make these, so if ya feel I'm clogging your feed tell me. I'll post less.

Edit: also does anyone know if the rotifer is pooping or laying an egg or what at 5:51 in the video?

I've gotten all the parts printed and collected but haven't set it up yet. Excited to see how well it does.
