GROWLAY Filament for Planters, breeding ground

thingiverse

GROWLAY - Filament / What is it? Print 3D objects and let biological cultures grow on them. Grass, moss, fungus, mildew, lichen, mycelium, pharma-cultures, and mother cells can all thrive. GROWLAY works like a breeding ground. Add seeds or spores to GROWLAY, and they will grow. GROWLAY Properties: GROWLAY is microcapillary. Its cavities absorb and store water, dissolved liquid nutrients, or fertilizer, promoted by capillary action throughout the printed object. Mold grows through open-cell capillaries and forms a mycelium. Seeds of grasses can get caught and grow in GROWLAY. Spores find room to germinate in small cavities. Roots cling to the structures of the object filling. Even lichens grow on GROWLAY, which usually grows preferentially on stones of walls or trees. GROWLAY can be sterilized for food use and research with gases or wet (but not thermally). For color differentiation, objects printed with GROWLAY can be subsequently colored with food colors. It is an absorptive carrier for agents. GROWLAY is available in functionally different versions: white and brown. Version white is an experimental filament that is fully compostable. The brown version contains not only pores but also built-in "food" in the form of cell material needed for growth. GROWLAY - Two Versions: 1) GROWLAY-White, Pure & Porous, Experimental Filament for Experienced Users Compostable polymer With open capillaries White filament Print range from: 85° - 135°C 2) GROWLAY-Brown, Porous + Wood Particles, for Any User Not compostable With open capillaries Polymer contains organic nutrients (+wood particles) Higher tensile strength More rigid than version white Increased temperature stability The filament can be printed just as easily as Laywood Brown filament Print at: 235°-250°C https://www.3ders.org/articles/20180702-kai-parthy-launches-new-bio-degradable-growlay-3d-printing-filament-for-indoor-farming.html
