Mini Gumball Aquarium

This is a project that I have wanted to make for quite some time. Originally, I wanted to use a large standing gumball machine for the project, but I found this smaller one at a thrift store and thought it would serve as a good proof of concept. I started by gutting out the internals of the machine and separating the glass top from the base. After that, I 3D printed a base for the glass and sealed it with aquarium grade caulk. And that was it! This was a really simple project in the end but the results were perfect.
