Sustainably Made. Purposefully Designed.
At KnickKnack Aquatics, sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into everything we make. From our solar-powered print farm in Mid-Missouri to the eco-conscious materials we use, every decision reflects our mission to create smarter, cleaner, and more responsible aquarium tools.
Sustainably Made in Missouri.
Inspired by Aquarists Nationwide.
Solar Powered
Our print farm runs on renewable energy, reducing our carbon footprint and keeping production local.
Eco Materials
We print exclusively with aquarium-safe PLA+ — a durable, plant-based plastic that’s safe for fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants.
Minimal Waste
Failed or test prints are repurposed whenever possible — including experimental projects made from recycled snail trap parts.
Local Manufacturing
Every product is designed, printed, and tested in-house, reducing emissions from transportation and overseas production.
A Look Behind the Process
Our growing print farm houses over 15 active 3D printers, all working together to produce precision parts around the clock. Every print is monitored, tested, and refined to meet aquarium safety and performance standards before it ever leaves the workshop.
From concept to completion, we stay hands-on — ensuring each design lives up to the standards we set for ourselves and for the aquarists who trust us.
Sustainability Starts in the Hobby
We believe every aquarist plays a role in protecting aquatic ecosystems — from responsible fishkeeping to choosing sustainable equipment. By supporting eco-conscious innovation, you help reduce waste, conserve energy, and promote a more sustainable future for the hobby we love.
