Seed Starter

thingiverse

I made this so I could start some seeds indoors before planting outside. It is printing right now will upload a photo when done. This also includes a overfill tray. The open area is a little off center but I included the 123D files so you can edit. I'm printing both with 20% Infill and bottom/top thickness of .6mm .1mm layer height and .8mm shell thickness. It is intentionally small as its for seeds and printing on the MP Mini Delta(110mm X, 110mm Y, 120mm Z) build area. Scale as needed. Printing on the MP Mini Delta speeding up and a brief slow down took 6 hours and 8 minutes. I will also added a photo as I print more with names and when they sprout. Version 2 I was thinking of adding a small horizontal bar across the drainage to prevent soil leakage. And maybe adding some internal slots on the bottom, maybe the side for string to aide in moving a seedling into garden. I will also try to do 10% and 5% and see how it holds up to water (haven't put water in 20% yet). Printed 2 they don' leak except for the drains. Added Cherry Tomato, Beefsteak, and now Romaine Lettuce (printing Lettuce - Romaine now). Thingview to see the text. I took out the 123D files except for the plain/basic. Added Peas with planting information. Update Printed Peas with 5% infill, will add dirt and water tomorrow (15 hours printing (slowed down to 20% speed overnight, then set to 200% speed (you can see the jump to 200% in top half inch.))) Side note: I haven't printed trays but I found a Nestle Pure Life small bottle (16.9 FL OZ) bottom two inches are great as runoff/drainage; but they do lift the Seed Starter up about .5"). Added Jalapeno and sweet basil STLs along with words that can be imported and merged to make my designing easier. Added a little tool to help left out seedlings for transplanting. I printed one and am using it. The lift out tool was designed to be a throw away, single use so its crude and only 5% solid. 2-10-2019 1651. Added a photo of the romaine and Peas starter sprouted approx 10 days outdoors. Also added stl of something I printed but did the size wrong, it's round with a hole in the bottom. My dad asked me to spout him some spinach so I put the seeds in yesterday with a coffee filter to allow drainage but keep dirt it.
