What is your interest in slime moulds? (we need to know you're not a bot or spamster)

I am an autodidact on C# programming and 3D printing and I do have great interest in biology. I do keep tropical sweet water fish for over 55 years (i'm from 1954 and retired) and I have a 2.5 meter aquarium with approx. 12..000 liters water in it., keeping Amazone biotope fish and plants. I came along Physarum Polycephalum a couple of years ago and the mould still intrigues me. So I thought it would be a nice idea to combine my knowledge on 3D printing (I teach as a volunteer teacher students how to design 3D prints) to create mazes for any kind of slime. Anybody who is in need of a certain type of maze: mail me with your idea. In return I would like to receive some Physarum Polycephalum to start my own experiments and research on the ability of molds to find their way through a more or less complex maze. I would also like to teach my students a thing or two about this interesting and intriguing biology of Physarum Polycephalum and other specimen.
