82mm 6-lug Conical Sprout Lid - No Supports

A sprouting lid system for European twist-off jars (82 mm, 6-lug), designed for superior airflow, quick rinsing and faster drainage. No AMS needed

This model was built around a proven thread insert for EU jars:
“Jar Thread Insert – 82 mm Lid, 6-Lug Twist-Off” (uploaded as a Remix).
I used that insert for reliable compatibility, then designed the full sprouting + drainage system on top of it.

Why the conical sieve matters

Most sprouting lids use a flat screen. This one uses a perforated conical inner sieve, which:

• improves air circulation / oxygen access
• drains water faster and more completely, reducing pooling compared to flat mesh designs

What’s included

• Lid with conical inner sieve
• Stand/drip tray (keeps the jar elevated while excess water drains)

How to use

1. Add seeds and water, soak if needed (depends on seed type).
2. Rinse & drain 2× daily: fill, swirl, then invert to drain.
3. Place the jar inverted on the stand/drip tray and let it breathe.

Works great for

Alfalfa, broccoli, radish, clover, lentil, mung beans, fenugreek, mustard (and similar small/medium sprouting seeds).
