Insect protector

I have a problem with an ant enter in my computer. Then I design a pole with small water bowl at it's base. Fill an oil in a bowl and it will protect ant to climb up to my computer. I finished printing an item, I pour an oil in it, I found that oil leak out from it. How can I resolve this issue with next print?

Can 3d print item hole an solution? 

Print with esunpla, prusa slicer, 0.15 quality.

Oil tends to seep into openings and spread. You might find that some dish soap works well as a barrier and will be less likely to seep through the part. If all else fails, rub the inside with candle wax.

I think you will have better luck with waterproofing if you use PETG material.

Original Prusa Mini + Smooth PEI
Prusa Slicer 2.6.0
