Stackable Mealworm Farm – 3D Printable File
Ensure a steady supply of feeders for your invertebrates, reptiles, and other insectivores with this stackable mealworm farm! This 3D-printable system makes breeding mealworms simple, efficient, and low-maintenance.
Key Features:
✔ Stackable & Modular – Securely stacks with bins centered or slide to one side for increased airflow and mold prevention.
✔ Two Bin Types – Includes a worm bin (escape-proof design) and a beetle bin (with holes to let eggs fall through for hatching).
✔ Versatile Lid – Can provide a tight seal or ventilation and doubles as a tray when maintaining the farm.
✔ Customizable Setup – Each bin is tall enough for egg crates, water gel cups, or other accessories.
✔ Low-Maintenance – Just provide occasional fresh veggies, mist as needed, and occasionally clean to remove debris.
✔ Self-Sustaining Cycle – Beetles lay eggs that naturally fall into the worm bin, ensuring a continuous supply of feeders.

Care & Maintenance Guide
If you're new to mealworm farming or want to optimize your setup, here's a simple step-by-step guide:
1️⃣ Setting Up Your Farm
Print all pieces and assemble them by stacking the bins.
Add a substrate (a pre-made store bought mix works great, or find recipes online) to each bin.
Place mealworms in the worm bin.
2️⃣ Growing Your Colony
Mealworms will pupate over time (days to months depending on age and temperature).
Move pupae to the beetle bin to prevent predation.
Beetles will lay eggs, which will fall into the worm bin below.
3️⃣ Maintaining Your Farm
Offer occasional fresh veggies (research what will offer the most valuable vitamins for your pet).
Provide water gel or mist lightly for hydration and to prevent beetles from eating eggs.
Remove dead beetles and worm molts as needed (don’t stress about getting them all).
4️⃣ Optimizing Airflow & Preventing Mold
Push bins slightly to one side for increased ventilation on days when moisture is added.
Mist sparingly and avoid overly damp substrate.
With this easy-to-use system, your feeders will thrive with minimal effort. Happy farming!
