Vertex Modular outworld small is our first entry into the vertical outworld realm. A truly stunning piece of equipment. Quite easy to assemble and has 4 potential modular connections. Opening the nests to a world of possibilities and expansion along with our revolutionary sliding door system.
We have a double lip lid, and the first lid has magnetic opening system which is simple. Yet effective.
To assemble:
Start by taking the base and peeling the protective film off all acrylic pieces.
You will have two longer acrylic panels and two slightly shorter ones.
Attach the two shorter panels to opposite sides of the base.
Repeat the process with the two longer panels.
Ensure all panels sit flush with no gaps before tightening.
Screw the panels in firmly, but do not overtighten.
Once the acrylic walls are secured, place the magnetic top frame on top. The magnets should be facing upwards. Screw the frame into place.
Peel the protective film off the acrylic lid piece (the square panel with ventilation holes). Attach the second lip frame to this lid and screw in the small handle—ensure the handle faces outwards.
Place the larger plain acrylic sheet on top of the lid assembly, add the four corner magnets, and then place the second lip lid on top.
Refer to the product image of the nest to confirm correct assembly.
Dimensions: L:106mm, W:106, H:66.5mm  
A full video of assembly will be released soon.

Our nests and outworlds have been rigorously tested with a wide range of species—from larger ants like Camponotus ligniperdus, C. nicobarensis and C. cruentatus to smaller species such as Temnothorax nylanderi, Pheidole pallidula and Tetramorium—all with zero escapes.
 
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.
