Seed Starter

thingiverse

This is an essential seed starter kit that includes a specially designed planter made with precise dimensions, featuring a flat surface area of five inches by two-and-a-half inches square, and a vertical height of three inches tall, along with nine compact seed starter pots that are easily detachable. The accompanying cover is carefully crafted to complement the planter's shape, boasting identical square dimensions at six inches on each side, with a total height of three inches. Its primary function is to neatly fit snugly over the planter while also ensuring proper airflow and visibility. Key upgrades in this improved version feature significantly thicker walls made from durable material to minimize warping and cracking when printed with PLA filament, effectively resolving earlier printing issues faced by users. Complementing the seed starter kit are the source files of SolidWorks, a widely-used computer-aided design tool, which grants complete access for modifications as desired by customers seeking specific designs or upgrades. This feature empowers users to adapt the design to meet their particular requirements and preferences without constraints. In terms of instructions for 3D printing this innovative seed starter kit: 1. Begin by adjusting the software's print orientation so that it rotates around the base or bottom area, thereby ensuring optimal print results from the start. 2. Once your planter has been printed in your desired color scheme, carefully remove the nine seed starter pots and arrange them in their designated spaces within the planter for effortless usage. 3. For the clear cover part of the kit: First, position the 3D model of the cover as needed, ideally rotating it from the top-down viewpoint within your computer software to guarantee accurate positioning before commencing with print settings. Print settings for transparent filaments: For achieving a clean look with optimal visibility and maintaining structural integrity during handling or transportation: Select the "Transparent Filament" material from the given list in the 3D printer's settings and input these details according to user preference. These parameters would also enable sufficient light penetration, guaranteeing effective observation and tracking of plant growth without causing harm. Always be sure to check if you need any upgrades before initiating the final assembly phase after both printing tasks are complete.
