Aquaponics Seeder

thingiverse

A single floating aquaponics/hydroponics seeder. Floats nicely but with a full grown plant might sink, so will be working on design in next few weeks depending on growth and any issues I see. I'm growing lettuce at this time. I used the waste filament I collect to keep the seeds inside the unit. A small piece of paper towel keeps the tiniest of seeds in place until they sprout. Once they sprout the filament waste should hopefully do great to replace the peat moss. I was too lazy to go to Home Depot for it, but thought this repurposed waste might really work. These are night pictures...when I do most of my tinkering! Temps turned up a bit to make the stringing effect, should do well to hold the plant in when the roots get established. OK it was a mistake and we'll see how it plays out :) Print Settings Printer: CTC Dual Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .35 Infill: 15% Notes: Floats great as is. a few pea stones inside and still floats, but if loaded w/ stones will sink. may have to redesign down the line if there's a heavy full grown plant in this thing. Possibly will link multiple together to create a network of these creating a large floating aquaponics raft
