Description

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.

There are two versions:

Version 00: 
150mm diameter, modern decor of air inlet

Version 10+11: 
160mm diameter, flower decor of air inlet
