Description
A small greenhouse for growing plants from a PET bottle. (seed starter)
The bottle parts can be easily opened. The bottle cap can be opened and closed as needed. Opening it prevents mold formation
Instructions:
- measure the circumference of the PET bottle
Calculate its diameter using the formula:
diameter = measured circumference / 3.1415
After measuring your bottle, set the required diameter size in the slicer. Proceed as follows:
-one part is not printed (it is already set in the prepared profile) and serves to determine the scaling ratio for the printable parts. For the X and Y axes, set the diameter size of your bottle. The slicer will show you the necessary scale for the printable parts
- set this scale for the printable parts (You can also keep it for the Z-axis, but it is not a condition)
if necessary, then adjust the dimensions so that both X and Y dimensions are the same (for the UP object, choose a larger dimension, for the DOWN object, a smaller dimension), but usually this is not needed at all
- now you can print
Just cut the PET bottle. If the measurement was not precise, cut the bottle as shown in the picture (you can do it in several places, but usually one place is enough)
- then at the cut simply "fold" the bottle over itself, or slightly stretch it
