Dust off your 3D printers, it's time to make some fish. This will be a support video for those who would like to print their own fry tray.
Print files are currently available as part of a new channel Patreon. This page (before subscribing) will provide some additional details to consider before attempting to print one of these. Link below:

For those without access to a 3D printer, full fry tray kits are available here (Currently US only):

I know I will be asked about specific products, so I'll provide links to what I have used. All of the below will be Amazon affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you buy the linked product. Please avoid any impulse purchases here. Do some reading first and consider what is already available to you. If you have never 3D printed before and this project inspires you to start, I would recommend practicing on simpler parts before attempting to print the ones shown here.

Please research pros and cons when selecting a 3D printing filament. Here are two options I have used successfully. PETG will be more challenging to print but is ostensibly better for water contact. I have not observed any degradation using the PLA+ material below.

My exact model is no longer sold but a modern version of the Creality Ender 3 would be equivalent.
