Hamama Quilt Lifter 20mm

thingiverse

A very simple design, this is for raising up Hamama microgreen quilts so that the top of the quilt fabric is perfectly aligned with the edge of the tray. The roots happily grow down into the water, and the coconut coir sits in the water, leaving the fabric/seeds on top not sitting in water. I spend a lot of time shooting time lapse videos of my Hamama microgreens. It's really fun, and people seem to enjoy watching them. The problem is, it's hard to shoot from the side because the quilt sits down in the tray, so the tray gets in the way. With this design, I can start a photoshoot from the side, focusing just on the seeds in the lower part of the frame, and after 3 or 4 days, watch them grow straight up. This is something you cannot do from the angles required without these risers. You can use this for anything you like! If you need something like this in any other reasonable dimension, just let me know. I need to know the length, width and height. For the purposes of this discussion, "width" is the length of the slats, "length" is the other direction, and "height" is how tall you want it. I only work with millimeters. These fit the standard black Hamama tray to within 1mm all around. Not tight, but not much movement. Printing this with PLA makes it semi-food-safe. Who knows what nastiness the ABS would leech into the roots and your sprouts! In order for these to work properly, you have to put the riser slats perpendicular to the tray's slats. If you put them parallel, I'll be impressed!
