Description
This is a self watering seed starter tray that's been tested for a few years. Uses a bottle to self water so you don't over/under water your seedlings. Pots are designed to not disturb the delicate roots when transplanting. Enclosed tray design to lessen evaporation and avoid mosquitos. A optional transparent lid that is designed for tall seedlings and is designed to not fly away in the wind.
Printing Notes (I used PETG HF)
Plate 1: Standard sized pots.
Plate 2: Tall pots. Great deeper root system or want to keep seedlings longer.
Plate 3: The bottom of the pot, required. The push from bottom design makes sure the seedling roots aren't disturbed when removing.
Plate 4: Spacing grid. Needed to keep the pot in the tray
Plate 5: The Tray it self. Special print settings. PETG HF, 5 to 10 degrees hotter than default and 100% infill to make sure it doesn't leak.
Plate 6: Default 9mm riser to keep pot just at water line. For seeds that need a wet environment. A tray cover to stop mosquitos. A Pellegrino 250ml bottle adaptor.
Plate 7: Pellegrino bottle cap. Uses 1 Marble Run 14mm acrylic marble. Print pauses half way to install ball. If you don't have this kit, you can buy 14mm marbles from Amazon.
Plate 8: Transparent lid, print with Transparent PETG using Vase mode. Has an all around edge to latch in the tray so it doesn't blow away in the wind. Optional.
Plate 9: Optional 12mm riser. Keeps the pot above the water line. Use with lid to create a humid and none wet environment. For seeds that might rot if it gets too wet. Pellegrino 750ml bottle adaptor, for use with the transparent lid due to more evaporation.
Plate 10: Optional tray cover that can support an LED plant light. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CTNVVRR
