Clip-in Net Pots

prusaprinters

I often encountered the problem that I had to cut open my net pots when I wanted to transfer or harvest plants (see picture below) in my hydroponic system. Therefore I have designed a few net pots that can be opened and closed in order to reduce damage to plants while transferring and reducing waste while harvesting. By printing these pots you can contribute to sustainability!Print SettingsMaterial: PLA or PETG or ASA (see below)Nozzle Size: 0.4mmLayer Height: 0.2mmInfill: 15% Supports/Brims: Yes/NoASA and PETG are recommended to print this model because of potential sun and heat exposure (e.g. in greenhouses). For indoor systems, PLA should be sufficient. The net pots were designed to fit 48mm neoprene rings. However, you can also use other hydroponic substrates like for example Expanded Clay, Rockwool cubes, Coco Coir, and Lava Stones.Additions parts:48mm Neoprene RingsExpanded ClayRockwool cubesCoco CoirLava StonesI have used my reliable Neptune 4 and I can recommend the following filaments: PLASUNLU PLA PlusAmazonAmazon BasicsAmazonGEEETECH Filament PLAAmazonELEGOO PLA+AmazoneSUN PLA+Amazon  PETGeSUN PETG FilamentAmazonOVERTURE PETG FilamentAmazonERYONE PETG FilamentAmazonSUNLU PETG FilamentAmazonPolymaker PolyLite PETGAmazonFormFutura - ReForm - rPETAmazonextrudr® XPETGAmazon  ASAextrudr® DuraPro ASAAmazonPolymaker PolyLite ASAAmazonAzureFilm 3D BlackAmazonPlease note that the links are affiliate Amazon links.
