In your The Slime Mold Chronicles you used a green colored plastic frame to create a Y-shaped maze. Can you share where I can get that from (don’t see it on your store). I had an experiment with _Physarum_ where I need to do a Y-maze experiment

Hi Shokan - Welcome to BYB Forums! We looked in our lab notebooks from Serbia. It looks like we 3d printed that Y Maze. We are trying to search to see if we can find the files. Stay tuned!

Hi @shokan ! Our notifications seemed to not pipe over - sorry for the delay. But good news! I’ve tracked down our files. I’ve got a printable STL and an editable STEP file for the Y-maze you can use here. Let us know if you use these, would love to see!
