The file 'Seed Starter – 2023 Remix 3D Printer Model' is (sldprt,stl) file type, size is 4.4 MB.

Summary

In honor of my first, and most popular, upload to Thingiverse, and because I needed some seed starters and found my old design to be... erm... lacking, I've decided to remix it as an updated 2023 version.

I've learned a lot about both gardening and Solidworks since my first attempt at 3D printing seed starter's back in 2015, and that learning shows in this updated seed starter model.

This new design is 128mm wide x 128mm long x 66.50mm high, has the same 9 pods as the original design, has (much) improved drainage over the original design. Wall thickness has been normalized over the original design. Thickness was kept to the bare minimum to reduce the total plastic consumed in printing and also make each pod slightly flexible to aid in removing sprouts.

NOTE: Please read the notes in the printing section for tips on how to get the best results out of this model.

As with the original design, I've included the Solidworks file for those that wish to tinker.

And... before you ask... no, I haven't gotten any better at naming things in Solidworks since 2015 lol

Enjoy this updated version and remember to give this thing a like and show us your makes!
