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 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:Â
a) Increasing the flush volume PLA→PETG to 700Â
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:Â
150mm diameter, modern decor of air inlet
Version 10+11:Â
160mm diameter, flower decor of air inlet
