Spare Type

Made to order
This option is currently in the ant workshop. Please allow an additional 2–3 working days before dispatch.

Order individual replacement fittings for compatible Antastic Tom nests, outworlds and founding equipment. Choose the exact spare-part type you need rather than replacing a complete module. Some parts are manufactured to order.

Choose your spare

  • Modular Blanking Cap: closes a suitable unused modular connection port.
  • Double Connector: joins two compatible modular components. This is the individual connector, not the separate Double Connector Portal product.
  • Outworld Corner Piece: a replacement corner part for a compatible outworld. Confirm the outworld generation before ordering.
  • Test Tube Blanking Plug: closes a compatible test-tube connector opening.
  • Founding Pod Lid Handle: replacement handle for the matching Founding Pod acrylic lid.

One replacement component of the selected type is supplied. Parts are not universally interchangeable between redesigned and original equipment. Check the required dimensions and fitting before purchasing, and inspect all connections and unused ports for gaps before allowing ants access.

These parts do not make an enclosure escape-proof. Keep away from direct heat, clean with lukewarm water and replace any damaged or loose fitting. See our compatibility guide or contact us if you are unsure which part you require.

What’s included

1 × spare component of the selected type. Other connector parts, screws, nests, outworlds and test tubes are not included unless expressly stated for the selected part.

Dimensions and compatibility

Modular spare-part dimensions vary according to the selected type and Antastic Tom product. Printed PLA components should only be used where their shape and connection system match.

  • Modular Blanking Cap: closes a suitable unused modular port.
  • Double Connector: joins compatible modular components.
  • Outworld Corner Piece: replacement corner part for the corresponding outworld design; confirm which generation fits before buying.
  • Test Tube Blanking Plug: closes a compatible test-tube connector opening.
  • Founding Pod Lid Handle: replacement handle for the compatible Founding Pod lid.

Parts are not universally interchangeable across older and redesigned products. Check the exact part required before ordering.

Who it’s for

For replacing a lost or damaged modular cap, connector, outworld corner part or Founding Pod lid handle, and for keeping appropriate spares for an existing setup.

Setup and use

  • Identify the correct component and compatible equipment before fitting.
  • Secure any occupied ant nest or outworld before removing an existing connection piece.
  • Install the replacement using the relevant port, fitting or retaining hardware for that equipment.
  • Inspect all adjoining parts, lids and unused ports for gaps before restoring access to the colony.

Care and maintenance

Routine checks

  • Inspect connectors and plugs before fitting and regularly while in use.
  • Check for cracks, warping, damage or wear that could cause a loose fit or create an escape gap.
  • Make sure every unused port is securely blanked and every active connection is fully seated.
  • Do not continue using a connector or plug that is damaged or no longer fits securely. Replace it before reuse.

Cleaning

  • Remove the part from the setup before cleaning where it is safe to do so.
  • Rinse or wipe with lukewarm water and use a soft brush for small openings or recesses.
  • Allow it to dry fully before refitting.

Avoid boiling water, dishwashers, solvents, bleach and strong cleaners. Keep PLA parts away from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Contains small components; keep loose parts away from young children and pets.
