Water Kefir Strainer Insert for Weck-Jars with Opening "Massivrand-95" (> 1.000 ml )

Motivation

[ water kefir production ]
Water Kefir is a drink made from water, sugar, lemons and dried figs.
With the help of "water kefir crystals" (living organism), a prepared mix of ingrediants turns into a drink (similar to lemonade) with a distinct taste.
A 1.5 liter jar needs 24-48h to be ready.
I really enjoy it on warm summer evenings.

When the kefir is finished, the water kefir crystals are retained by pouring the lliquid through a sieve.
This can be somewhat messy sometimes, because the kefir crystals sometimes just don't go where they should ...

[ water kefir strainer insert for jars ]
 Why not keeping the kefir crystals in a strainer that can be inserted into the prepared Weck-jar for producing the kefir?
... and when the kefir is finished, you can simply take out the insert, rinse the kefir cristals with cold and clear water and use them for the next Jar of new kefir?
Only minimum spilling and no loss of kfir crystals ... lets see what we can do ;-)

Solution

As I use a typical jar (Einmachglas) made by the company Weck, I designed the insert for the typical Weck jar opening "Massivrand-95" with an inner diameter of 85 mm.
The design should allow printing without supports, which generally results in better surface quality, especially when printing with PETG.
 

Print

Printed with Creality PETG (transparent).
