I want to grow fresh sprouts to pimp the sandwiches my son takes to school every day.
So the idea came up, to use a vintage table scale as decorative sprout farm.
The main requirements were:
- The sprout farm should fit into the scale pan and allow some ventilation.
- The sprout farm should have 3 feet to allow ventilation
(this avoids corrosion of the brass scale pan) - The sieve needs an opening for water level check.
The opening also allows to take out the sieve without the need for extra handles. - A transparent/opaque cover with air ventilation
- Solid design to cope with daily use in a kitchen environment.
The sieve and top cover were printed with:
- Prusament Clear PETG
- no supports
- nozzle 0.4mm
- layer height 0.2mm
The bottom tray was printed with:
- Prusament Pistaccio Green PETG
- supports (Sunlu PLA+)
- nozzle 0.4mm
- layer height 0.2mm
Problem:
I had some issues with my MMU2S while printing, so the feet broke off and had to be glued back on again.
Solved:
a) Increasing the flush volume PLA→PETG to 700
b) Supports with PETG + PLA only as interfacing layers
I just started the first round of growing sprouts today… I'll keep you updated.
