AeroGarden Seed Pod->Shrouded

prusaprinters

This is a modification of gglockner_125788's most excellent Aeropod design. It adds a shroud under the top part to make a tight fit in the holes of an AeroGarden Harvest Elite. I found the original design wobbled a bit more than I liked and when my plants got bigger, they leaned. I added the shroud to make a tight fit in the Harvest Elite's holes.Advantage: Pod doesn't wobble. Holds tight in the hole. More stable. Keeps the water flow between the Aeropod “legs.”Disadvantage: You must line up the opening in the shroud with the water feed. It's not hard. Just pay attention when you insert it. If you don't, this pod won't fit right and the water won't feed the seed sponge. Once oriented right, it won't rotate much and block the water feed. Worked great with my Harvest Elite. Your experience may vary.I printed this with a Prusa MK3S+ at 0.20mm. I used 5% infill for a lighter, quicker print. Following gglockner_125788, I also used “natural” (no color) PLA filament. The outside diameter of the Aeropod has a pretty tight tolerance to the inside diameter of the AeroGarden hole but a well-tuned printer should print it well enough to fit.
