Drip Lid for Hydroponics

A drip lid for 6" pots to allow for the water supply to reach a larger range of the growing medium.

Takes a 4mm inner diameter tube, inlet is 5mm to allow for a bit of stretch.

I was asked to print https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4170286 by a friend but felt the design used too much plastic so I remodelled it.

Print instructions

Printed in PETG, 0.3mm DRAFT profile is fine on a Prusa Mk3

Variable layer height - from 10mm to the end printed at 0.15mm for the tube inlet.

Flow increased to 140% to help with water-tightness, seems to have worked.

Printed with a first-layer speed of 10mm/s, this really helped get the hexagonal pattern nice and clean.

Printed on a PEI smooth sheet with no brim.
