Description

PDF

I made these covers for around the pipes of my 1st generation Rise Garden, because there always seems to be a decent amount of funk growing due to light ingress.  My other covers for the personal garden have proven to be quite successful for keeping algae at bay [Shameless plug].  

Print Settings

  • I used 4 parameters to prevent the edge from being infilled, though 2 would work with concentric infill
  • Plain PLA was used, there's no touching of produce or water contact save for the occasional splash

Installation

  • I would highly recommend installing these during a cleanup.  The water feed tube will need to be passed through and the pipe set in.  The water return pipes are fairly easy to feed.  Lifting an empty tray out makes the job much easier. 

Note

  • Watering should be just as easy via the bottom try.  Either lifting the cover (it is not a super tight fit) or removing the left tray cover from the left side will allow easy access! 

Edit

  • Based on the make from @PumpkinSouffle, I have included a split model if preferred.
