Seed Planter (Jiffy Pellet)
Description
This is a seed starter tray designed to work with compressed peat pellets such as the Jiffy seed starters. My base design holds 8 (2x4) but it's a customizer so you can make it larger or smaller. The pellet size is also configurable. This print has 3 parts. The "UPPER" is the only part you actually need. It should be printed with enough walls that it's solid. I also printed it a bit hotter than usual to make sure it was waterproof. The LID prints upside down, using a clear/natural PLA printed at 215c and slower than usual it's quite transparent. The version I shared has vent holes, but these can be disabled in the customizer. I suggest printing this with 1 bottom layer, 0 top layers, and 5-10% infill. This will give a top that's just one layer thick, with just a little extra support. Finally the tray is designed to sit under the upper and catch any drips. It's not really required but it makes me feel safer. **Update** Although the customizer works in OpenSCAD, the render takes a bit too long for thingiverse. I think the issue is the high polygon count cylinders - which are required for a even layer thickness. You can still use the customizer if you download OpenSCAD. I've also uploaded some STL files at different sizes.
