Origami Net Cup 50mm

thingiverse

Hey there, this is a printable Origami Net Cup for a hydroponic tower with holes of 50mm in diameter. I designed this because I had trouble to get the vertical printing on my printer to work for alternative net cups. Furthermore I reconned, I could decrease the print time significantly by printing mostly "in-plane" rather than stacking many layers. After printing let the print cool down, then remove from the bed. Along the "creases" bend the part to about 120°. You will have to fuse the two ends together somehow. I used kitchen cord/yarn but glue should be okay as well. If I get more time on hand and will continue hydroponics, I will tend to redesign the cup to not require glue or similar. In the best case the cup can just be "clipped" together then. I am also open for any recommendations, feedback or questions.
