OT: what printer and what settings did you use? I tried this in the past, but gave up because I couldn't get it watertight, no matter how many walls I used. I'm assuming my P1S could do it now though.
 
i use mix of p1s and x1c, to archive watertight print, you need to make wall overlap at least 90% and at least 4 layers of wall to begin with, also thicker infill. i've make an overflowbox and hasn't leaked since i set my tank up.

Off topic, but anyone have recommendations on how to learn about making models/designs for 3d printing? My 8 year old wants to learn. Not sure where to start

There's facilities/clubs all over the bay area. Where do you live? I bet there is something local to you for her.
