Drip Lid for Hydroponics

prusaprinters

<p>A drip lid for 6" pots to allow for the water supply to reach a larger range of the growing medium.</p> <p>Takes a 4mm inner diameter tube, inlet is 5mm to allow for a bit of stretch.</p> <p>I was asked to print <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4170286">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4170286</a> by a friend but felt the design used too much plastic so I remodelled it.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Printed in PETG, 0.3mm DRAFT profile is fine on a Prusa Mk3</p> <p>Variable layer height - from 10mm to the end printed at 0.15mm for the tube inlet.</p> <p>Flow increased to 140% to help with water-tightness, seems to have worked.</p> <p>Printed with a first-layer speed of 10mm/s, this really helped get the hexagonal pattern nice and clean.</p> <p>Printed on a PEI smooth sheet with no brim.</p> <p>Prints in around 2h40m</p>
