I Built An Infinite Terrarium
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2022
- I wanted to make a terrarium build that was unique, this one features an infinity cube as the container. I am still new to terrariums and a beginner but they are fairly easy to set up. Making this DIY terrarium has plants from the native area and I might try a waterfall or aquarium terrarium for the next time I want to try making a closed terrarium ecosystem. Making a terrarium for beginners is not difficult as the most complicated part of this project is the custom container and figuring out how to make a terrarium and following guides was not difficult to learn the basics. For inspiration on this I looked at SerpaDesign to learn more about terrariums before fully building one. Feel free to ask any questions you might have for how to build a terrarium and I hope this serves as a tutorial for you to make your own.

Thanks for watching 😊 - Jak na to + styl
Probably should have made a pinned comment sooner for the update but I am still new and scuffed so here is the update for the status of all the plants and the ability to get the files:
-Do you have files you can sell?
EDITED 1/14: Files are now available over on my Etsy Store: idealideacreations.etsy.com , the digital files that I used to make this project can be found there. Take a look at the product description if you want more information on them,
-How is the terrarium doing?
Overall good, some parts not so good. For the simplest answer, the container has been working well, its mainly my lack of knowledge of what plants would be best in here that is the problem. The thing that had the most problems were the ferns, they died off really quickly so I don't think this was the right environment for them but everything besides those have been growing well. Going into this I was planning on leaving the terrarium untouched for 6months before doing anything to it just to see how it does but a month in there was a mold problem from the dead ferns so I added in springtails and they instantly solved the problem and it hasn't been a problem since. Everything else has been doing fine, the "vine like" plant that I added has been growing still almost to much and it crowds the lower lights so I might have to trim them back if they continue. The moss is just being moss and just vibing. The lighting and atmosphere of the terrarium has been good, with the plants still growing the lighting seems to be working fine and the acrylic fogs up in the early mornings but clears up pretty quickly after. The actual design specifics on the container have all worked well, there are some things that I will change for the Version 2.0 though but nothing critical that is a glaring issue, more just ease of use now that I have had it for a while.
-Version 2.0 when?
Honestly, it will be a little while but with the second version of this I plan to make it more manageable to recreate so that I can sell them to people who want one and have been asking if they can get one. The new version is in the works but It will be a bit since I want to see how this terrarium continues to grow as I incorporate everything that I have learned from making this initial design into the new and improved one while still balancing everything else I am working on but I am just as excited for the new version as you all are. I will try to keep you all updated as I get closer to finishing it.
Thank you all for the continued support! Feel free to continue to ask any questions that I didn't get answered well or didn't cover.
Greetings ideal idea. I have a question. Are you, by any chance, on the autism spectrum. Do you also have a unique brain that allows you to visualize these engineering projects to make them a reality?
are you hiring for video editor
gotta dim the leds so the light reflects better and then zoom the camera way into one of the reflections so you can truly get a scope of how immense the reelection is...
This is the coolest terrarium I've ever seen! Would love to grab a mini version once you make one! :D
is it for sale
Imagine if you were just some random colony of beetles and all of a sudden you were transported to an infinite dimension beyond your comprehension.
Are we dead?
Hey that rhymed "infinite dimension beyond your comprehension"
What makes you think we aren't?
That's my one issue with this video. I tried to make a (non-infinite) terrarium once with native plants, but a bunch of slugs, snails, and a few tiny insects hatched. There must have been eggs laid on the plants that I couldn't see and I would warn others about that if they tried using wild plants. Other than that, wonderful video and a beautiful piece or work.
take a strong psychedelic and you won’t have too
For such a small channel I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of this video. I loved it, and I hope it blows up! You have a great stage presence, and everything was clear and concise so I could follow the steps with understanding, this was awesome!! Great job man!
Its growing slowly but if its for one person or a million, I am glad that someone enjoyed it. Thank you! I hope the quality only improves more from here.
I taught this is a 1 milion sub channel lol
Hitting my recommended page today
@@Ideal_Ideayep!
Never judge a CZcams channel by its number of subscribers 🤣
I thought this had 2,804,000 views, not 2,804. Super underrated channel
Its over 1 mil
@@xsspunt 6months ago it wasn’t a million
@@Yuurkk really sherlock
@@xsspunt So why comment in the first place?
@@shu.i0 ask yourself why replying on me.
It would be a good idea to add some spring tails to your terrarium, they're also called garden lice.
They eat fungal spores (preventing mold outbreaks) and decaying plant matter (promoting faster compost cycles).
You could use isopods (like pill bugs / rolly polies) but they eat living plants as well and are prone to large die offs.
all these animals are in there since the start. you cant put earth and rotten wood in a terrarium without taking isopods, springtails and small ant colonies with it. ( own experience)
@@klippschliefer4968 Apparantly you've not seen other channels that put extra in. Although perhaps they had to because of the small amounts.
the animals looking at 20 million of themselves in the mirror 💀💀💀
@@officialnoonon it's common practice to put some in, but the necessity depends on the type of terrarium you are building. For a reptile the stuff we use is "sterile" not literally, as that's borderline impossible, but the idea is to build something as clean as possible, as to include as little outside influences that could potentially harm the animal (bacteria, parasites, etc.), wood for example gets baked to kill everything off and substrate is specifically mixed for that purpose out of clean components and it's a bad idea to include just stuff gathered outside in the terrarium for that reason. So there is little (non is basically impossible) microfauna in the system and we jumpstart a new one by introducing springtails and isopods. But if you do a native terrarium where you don't intend to keep an animal in, it's fine to gather stuff from outside and you'll already have the microfauna included, so adding springtails for example is totally optional.
millipedes would also work :)
Makes me want to tear up how beautiful this is in the dark.
I will say its my favorite to have everything dark and just have it glowing in the room.

I think the charcoal is used to keep the water circulation clean and healthy, so it's more for closed terrariums. It would be recommended for your build.
I added it about a month in
Nice thinking!
Id totally buy a mini version from this. I think it's a great idea! Good job.
Yes! Exactly my thoughts too :) I would definitely buy a half-sized version of this. Maybe mod it myself and add water spray or something and put frogs or something in it :)
Yes i think he should mass produce this thing in different sizes, he could make a good buck out of it
how much would you pay if it was the size of 2 phones?
I've watched youtube for over 10 years now and this is a top10 building videos. your 3d animations really adds a lot of quality to the video and showing your vision before you build it. final product looks great. I can't wait to see what you do next! and hey now you have international fans! Good luck from Turkey!
I appreciate the kind words and feedback!
Another Turkish fan from now on!
This actually gives me a vibe and the string tensioning everything together fits that vibe. I imagine this being a scale model of a building like this on Mars or something
I'd love to see future updates on the sustainability of your terrarium! It may seem easy to create a self-sustainable ecosystem, but it ends up being a lot harder than you would think. Great job with the overall design, and I hope it continues to thrive and look as good as it does now!
8:40 and now I am subscribed. This is the kind of moment that all DIY channels I watch have which makes the content interesting to me
This channel is criminally underrated
The content itself, editing, craft visuals, blueprints - everything is just top-tier
The production quality of this video was easily on par with channels many magnitudes of subs larger than yours, I really enjoy your content and can't wait to watch your channel grow!
the quality of this video is literally immaculate
Dude this was an amazing CZcams video. It’s getting harder for me to do yt with all the low qual content coming out every day but you good sir, you are a bright spot in my algo
Honored to hear that, thank you!
9:55 - That is Phedimus; probably Phedimus spurius
The "fern" plant you are refering to might be Achillea millefolium (not a fern).
I believe you also added a Potentilla hippiana, the silvery plant. I am not too sure because I couldn't find any good shots of it.
The moss you are adding is probably Syntrichia ruralis; especially if you are on the west coast, or very up in the North.
If you are on the west coast, I would probably say the plant added at 11:35 might be bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi).
This is such a cool idea! If you decide to build a version 2.0, I'd highly reccomend going to a nursery and buying tropical plants (many will carry small pots of plants specifically for small terrariums). The issue with collecting plants from outdoors, especially if you live somewhere temperate, is that many of the plants aren't suited for living in a almost consistently moist environment with mild temperatures for a long period of time.
Hope this helps!
Fantastic information, thank you! I will check in on that for version 2
I absolutely love everything about this video. The informational part is awesome. Not too informational but not to vague either. Just enough to keep you interested but not too much that it overloads you. I like the humorous parts too they're a nice touch. Awesome stuff. Keep up the great quality, I see your channel becoming a huge thing!
57 Subscribers and this man is producing like nobody else!
Get this man an oscar or some other thing!
Production value, originality, prototyping and ingenuity, and the finished build . . . WOW!!! I can't wait to see what's next! So glad the algorithms threw your video on my feed.
Love the effort put into the making of this video! You deserve way more subscribers with this amount of quality. I was actually planning to make the normal infinity icosahedron (similar to the Anthony James icosahedron) when I came across this video, it really gave me a lot of insight and instructions that I never would have considered. Thanks for making it so detailed and keep it up man!
This is incredible. The 3d printing and the inhabitants you gathered...etc etc. It's all above and beyond and it all came together really well. Congrats!
Your video quality is so over the top. This could be a 10 000 000 subscriber channel by this quality. The camera is great, the audio is absolutely gorgeous and the effects and the cutting could not have been better. Keep up like this
You sir a going places. Fellow maker here and while you can tell you are new to this, I honestly can say that this is an amazing project. Gives me diy perks vibes for the beauty of the final project
That is incredible, I'm very suprised to see such a small channel do this kind of stuff. Great job!
The terrarium looks absolutely gorgeous...well done!
I’m so glad you went with option 2
Amazing video and the terrarium looks amazing. As other comments have said, really impressed with how professional and detailed the video is considering this channel's small size. I also love the implementation of 3d models on your table for scale. This makes me want to build something like this now lol.
That was so cool! Definitely worth the effort! Awesome video brother, can't wait for the next one!
This is so beautifully made, your work will be given it's flowers with due time. Never give up, you are too talented.
12:19
THAT TRANSITION THO!!!
very underrated channel
This level of quality and dedication but only so many subscribers!!? This was amazing, I'm sure ur gonna see fast growth with such videos! The Terrarium is amazing!
Small channel with such amazing production quality and content. This was amazing to watch man, looking forward to see what happens in the upcoming future
Oooooh, so pretty!
That looks amazing!
awesome video and build mate
if you don't want to do any plant maintanance you can put in some springtails and/or isopods
they'll take care of any decaying plant matter and mold
I would be cool to discover something like this, flying about in the depths of space. Like a mini planet.
Ahh.. the golden feeling of accomplishment when a hard project is done... That's the reason i do DIY stuff
LOVE IT!
WOW! It is so beautiful!
this is such a nice video!! Really liked everything, the lighting, the process, the combination of nature and engineering. Such a hidden jam in the youtube algorithm
Wow, so impressive. I have honestly never seen anything like it. Keep up the awesome work!
Comment for the algorithm, blow this channel up, needs to get to 100K by next week! This is great!! Please keep up the videos!!!!
I love that you are happy with your creation. Its beautiful ......keep doing what you love dear
The absolutely insane level of editing is so great.
The project is great, too. I use a lot of dice for MtG, and many of them are D20, so that makes the design even cooler to my eyes. Probably the same for any D&D fan. Or geometry nerd...
Anyway. Damn good video, 10/10
Really cool how much effort you put in and I am also very happy about the result. This channel need to blow up. Great Work ;)
THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!
Super cool project. Digging the inventiveness and the taking-it-as-it-comes approach.
New favorite channel! Keep up the good, no - amazing work, can't wait to watch the channel grow (:
Wow!
I feel like I wanna live inside that terrarium lol.
It looks awesome
This looks so cool!!
Super cool build! Love it!
I would buy the STLs, cut lists and hardware list in a heartbeat. This is such a cool project. Massive respect for your work. Very well done.
If you offer these for sale as kits or assembled I'd be interested too. Please update us if you decide to sell anything related to this project.
Keep up the great work as long as you enjoy it!
As a matter of fact they will be available soon! I am working on compiling all of the files into something that is clean and understandable for people to print and make their own. It is not going to be "instructions" on how to put it all together but it will give you all of the pieces and files I have to make sense of how it goes together. This all should be released with the next video and I will add a link to it here as well when its ready.
@@Ideal_Idea That's phenomenal! I'm looking forward to it. Thanks so much!
@@seanwelding4183 Sorry I am late to responding but the files are now available over on my Etsy page if you are still interested. If you end up deciding to purchase it, let me know if everything makes sense or if any parts need more clarity. Normally its only me who has to worry about my files but I have tried to compile and simply everything to hopefully have it makes sense to anyone.
If you get your plants from the forest, try to dig out the roots, not just plucking them. Or harvest their seeds when they're done flowering and sow them directly!
9:52 that plant with the silvery/white leaves belongs to the Rosaceae family, genus is Argentina and the species might be anserina but i'm not entirely sure about the last one, lots of species similarity. Argentina anserina would be my guess. Likes to grow between pavement in my country and almost impossible to kill (will die but will grow next year again) if the roots stay alive, flowers are yellow and nice.
9:54 Thats a Hylotelephium, the species is almost impossible to tell if not flowering, and without roots, so most likely wouldn't survive. Gets quite tall, big flowers.
not to mention, @10:10 that appears to be a nice specimen of fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) 🍄
I love icosahedrons, they're uniform, beautiful and sleek
im more amazed how this video has not exploded in popularity yet
Great video! Can’t believe it doesn’t have more views!
how tf are you not more known ??? what you do is incredible !
4 videos and they arent focused its really good video though
I admire your effort and dedication put into this video, it’s outstanding.
The idea is fantastic and the video editing is phenomenal. I can't wait to watch more.
This is totally awesome! I’ve long dreamed of making a terrarium that has built in lighting. The production on this was insane. Subbed for sure.
Thank you! I appreciate all the kind words.
Good job on this! Yeah you don't necessarily need charcoal. I mix mine in with my soil to prevent mold growth but animals live in mine so I think for plants only I wouldn't worry about it. You could also but springtails in there and just buy a little bit of leaf litter, throw it in every now and then and they will do the job of the charcoal for you.
you designs are so cooooolll thanks for making this high quality vid!!
Fantastic video , thank you uploader
Would you be willing to share the files for the 3d printed parts? Because I'd love to make one of these but don't have the tech savvy to work that part out myself!
Yea that shouldn't be a problem, I will need to locate and compile all the parts but I will see what I can do about getting a download going for you
Great job on this video man, I’m loving the effort you took in editing!
Best Terrarium vid I've seen since I became obsessed with them last week. Subscribed.
Wow 😳😳😳 I really loved the shape! And the lights and everything ~! It turned out amazing 😍
Speechless is all i can say... this is beyond awesome.
Awesome! I just happen found the vid clicked and wow! really cool idea and design! love it👍👍
a little part of me has always wanted to do this. great job.
That looks so awesome!
This is the coolest thing ive seen all month
Wow this is amazing
Man, that is fantastic! wow. what a wicked project!
Insane build. I would totally buy such a terrarium I am mindblown very well done!!
1 Word UNDERRATED
looks awesome
Love it brother!
I'm going to build a Terrarium after watching your video!
that looks so freaking cool
Looks like you put alot of work into this, Simply amazing!
this was so fun!
wow this is the first video ive seen from you and your work is amazing. your very underrated and i hope to see you go places with this.
I really admire how you didn't choose the easy one and successfully made it👍🏻
Such a great Terrarium. I have never made on of these before in its normal form let a lone one of these shapes I can't even name. Infinity cube I think. Its so mesmerizing. And such a lot of work.
Great job I enjoyed the process more than the end result. But fantastically done.
This video was offered to me on the start page and I'm absolutely surprised that your canal is so small. 100% gonna give you a sub, you really deserved it.👏
I already love your channel🫶 Keep up the good work
i'm a recent mechanical engineering grad, and i wish i had 1% of the creativity and vision you have to take on such a project
Very nice idea and project!!!👏
Amazing work man, while I was watching the video i got a glimpse at the number of subscriptions...1.5k only. I was amazed, you deserve 1.5mil easy. Keep up the work, respect!
Wow, When i saw this video I thought the channel would have atleast 200k subscribers from the quality of the video! Keep up the great work!
Super cool!
I love the energy and I'm very glad your channel came across my recommended page, love the humor and we need more of it! subscribing for sure!
such a great work u put into that video. it is really cool to watch! amazing!
