A drip lid for 6" pots to allow for the water supply to reach a larger range of the growing medium.
Takes a 4mm inner diameter tube, inlet is 5mm to allow for a bit of stretch.
I was asked to print https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4170286 by a friend but felt the design used too much plastic so I remodelled it.
Print instructions
Printed in PETG, 0.3mm DRAFT profile is fine on a Prusa Mk3
Variable layer height - from 10mm to the end printed at 0.15mm for the tube inlet.
Flow increased to 140% to help with water-tightness, seems to have worked.
Printed with a first-layer speed of 10mm/s, this really helped get the hexagonal pattern nice and clean.
Printed on a PEI smooth sheet with no brim.
