Vertex Modular Outworld Small + Founder’s Nest (Series X) – The Complete Modular Ant Setup
Bring your colony a sleek, modern and fully modular habitat with this bundled system combining our Vertex Modular Outworld (Small) and the Founder’s Nest – Series X. Designed to integrate flawlessly, this setup gives you expansion options, clean aesthetics and an effortless user experience.
Vertex Modular Outworld Small
Our first entry into vertical outworld design—compact, stunning, and built for limitless expansion. Featuring 4 modular connection ports, this outworld allows you to grow and redesign your setup with ease. The revolutionary sliding door system ensures smooth access, while the double-lip magnetic lid keeps everything secure and simple to operate.
Key Features
4 modular ports for expansion
Double-lip lid with magnetic opening system
Clear vertical design for maximum visibility
Smooth sliding door system
Easy assembly with protective film on all acrylic pieces
Assembly Guide
Peel the protective film from all acrylic parts.
Attach the two shorter acrylic panels to opposite sides of the base.
Add the two longer panels, ensuring all edges sit flush.
Screw panels firmly (avoid overtightening).
Place the magnetic top frame (magnets facing upward) and screw into place.
Peel film from the lid ventilation panel, attach the second lip frame, and fit the handle.
Place the larger top acrylic sheet, add corner magnets and finish with the top lip lid.
Check the product images for final orientation.

Why Series X Stands Out:
• Door Slide Technology™ – Total Control
Open or close nest sections instantly with our built-in sliding doors. Expand safely—no escapes, no stress.
• Bigger Chambers, Better Value
10–20% larger than similar nests. More space for your colony, more value for you.
• PETG Construction – Strong, Safe, Heat-Ready
Forget PLA. PETG handles heat, resists warping, and survives 60°C cleaning with ease. Built for years of use.
• Premium Hardware That Lasts
A2 stainless steel screws—rust-proof, durable, and far superior to the zinc screws most brands use.
• Nests arrive Assembled
Just attach your connectors (two screws each) and you’re ready to go. No fiddly builds. No stress.
• Smarter Outworlds
Vertical design, minimal assembly, magnetic first-lip lid. Cleaning is effortless—no awkward screw-off tops.
• True Modularity
Four connection points on both nests and outworlds. Build any layout you want. Add tubing or test tubes with our connector options.
• Your Choice of Viewing
Red acrylic lid or printed 3D lid—pick what fits your species and your style or get both.
Built to Last. Built for Keepers. Built for the Future.
Series X is engineered to last decades—not seasons. Less waste, more durability, and unmatched value.
If you want reliability, innovation, and pro-level quality without the premium price tag—Series X is the future of your ant keeping journey.
