Remixed Planting Pot - More clearance for inserting / removing

thingiverse

Tanks to https://www.thingiverse.com/boundarycondition/designs I came to printing my first hydroponic tower. I love the design, but had some issues with inserting the plant pots. I slightly modified the jiffi-pot and the standard-pot (BIG thanks for providing the STEP files!!!) to have a higher clearance for inserting. Link to the original design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3405964/remixes Changes: - The three cutouts for the holding mechanism are 1mm wider. They were a bit tight for me and do not provide any stability after the plant is inserted. - Decreased the radius of the pot by 0.1mm at some areas to make it easier to move in and out. - Decreased wall thickness on the upper parts by 0.4mm. Walls were pretty thick and are still really stable. Reduces print time slightly. I consider thinning the walls even further. - Lowered the "handle" height by 1.5 mm For me, the fit is perfect now. They glide in with no resistance at all and become really tight when you fix them. Some don't even need the last cm on the inner rail with the curb to become fixed. Print settings: - Use a raft. I had some failures without with PET-G. - Infill: 0% - I recommend to print them one at a time to counter oozing when printing with PET-G. - Everything else: Use your regular settings.
