Aerogarden pod with open bottom

thingiverse

**Update 2020-12-31** I added a "thick" version of the model which has increased wall thickness between the mouth and the start of the slots. I had several of the original version disintegrate on me recently when trying to move well-established plants to new homes (printed in black eSun PLA). This version will hopefully hold together better and should not have any effect on the plant. -------- This is the same as A4B's design, except the hole at the bottom is much larger, and 3 of the 6 spokes that form the ring around the bottom hole are extra thin. This is to facilitate cutting the pod apart so that a mature plant can be extracted from it (e.g. for planting in soil) without mutilating its roots too badly. I also thickened the flange at the edge to improve adhesion to the bed, as I had some of the knife-edge-design parts pop off the bed or start to peel up mid-print.
