Artemia or Brine Shrimp Hatching Bowl complete

A metric Artemia or Brine Shrimp Hatching Bowl complete with lid, divider, instruction and net. After hatching the Artemia eggs, the nauplii swim towards to the light into the net to be feed to raise young aquarium fish. The bowl and lid are best in printed in PTEG to ensure darkness and water proofing. Previous designs that were printed with a 0.6- and 0.8-mm nozzle appear to be watertight, but salt crystals grow at the outer surface. Models that were printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle with the seam at the back were saltwater proof. A possible leak can be easily fixed with some epoxy resin. The divider, net holder and rings were printed in white PTEG. The net can be made by placing one ring on a flat surface and apply some superglue at the surface. Overlay a piece of synthetic mesh over this ring and hold it flat, and cover with the second ring. Once the glue is completely dry, trim the edges with a pair of scissors. Then click this sieve into the net holder. from the bottom. I used a piece of fabric mesh that I had at home. Please let me know in the comments if you found an easily available solution.  Update: @Diem_9312 unfortunately noticed that there was a mistake in the design of the bowl. This has been solved now. I uploaded two versions: 1) ''the initial one as can be seen on the images; without ramp" and 2) the corrected enforced one with a ramp between the bottom and wall for water proofing. The latter benefits from maximizing the number of perimeters printed. Update:  @PeterRostocker_87756 indicated that it would be easier to mount the net with an outer ring when using tights as a mesh. I add a second net design with an outer ring. In the images, this is the one at the right-hand side with the black mesh. After pushing the outer ring up, I cut the excess mesh with a hobby knife. It seems to hold well but maybe a few drops of superglue will be helpfull to hold it in place.
