3D printed items for grows

[Absorber]

I made my furnace, out of my old propane barbeque controls, steel barrel, homemade burners & refractory cement before the internet
Do a site search for casting & my name
Don't type lots but will try to answer any questions

I just had a quick search, nice work on the castings buckles turned out good too

If anyone has any requests and if I have the skills to design it I will give it a crack.

I found these to be essential in getting better germination rates and can be made with a 3d printer

Does it crack the seed?

Will that work ?

Here's the modified version of the seed cracker.

 

[Azimuth]

And why would we want to crack the seed??

 

[Absorber]

Im guessing its to help it germinate easier, like how some scuff with sand paper

And why would we want to crack the seed??

 

[Azimuth]

I would think it would be way too easy to damage the seed by cracking it. Scuffing it with sandpaper helps water penatrate the seed shell to let the seed do its own thing, so I get that.

I've not heard of manually cracking them, but at first blush I'm not a fan.

Im not sure i was just asked to make it i haven't tried it at all @TheGrimReaper might be able to chime in

Sup Azimuth, I have a seed cracker and love it, NEVER damaged a seed using it. I did modify the one I ordered a bit took 2 seconds of my time and a drill bit, the only way it would damage the seed now would be if I intentionally damaged the seed. The one i have is called "The Seed Cracker" by Woodshed and it sells for $75.00. Great Tool for Germination.

$75 yikes you best start finding some gold, to pay for that.
Just like gold mining the seller are mining the growers
I can crack em with my teeth, for nothing

yeah bro, when I saw the price I myself was like damn thats a pack of seeds.. but I was having trouble with hard shell seeds and older seeds popping and was looking for ways to increase my germination rates when I came across it. Yeah it was pricey but I said let me take a shot in the dark. When I got it there was a flaw about it and had to be modified in a way that the seed can sit on the device without it falling over when your manually twisting the top screw down to crack the seed.

You weren't joking when you said you would just bite the seed.

Having a play around at designing an AeroPonics basket for Canuk upcoming grow im tweaking how im going to do this grow

 

[Absorber]

Hydroponic Mesh pot designed for maximum room for roots .
They also fit into solo cups.
And I whipped up a branch trainer while I was on the computer , its the last picture.

Happy growing peoples

I've been informed im not allowed to post links to the STL's to print them so if you want the link to the files just flick me a message and I will give it to you .
Happy safe growing (and 3d printing )

Im going to be running 2 4ft x 4ft tents with 1
6 inch extraction fan and 6 inch carbon filter that will branch via a Y fitting going from 6inch to two 4 inch pipes, the 4 inch pipes will have a 3d printed damper on each one controlled via a 2 zone controller with temperature and humidity sensors .
If 1 room is at temperature the damper for that room will close and fan will also ramp down to half speed when second tent reaches temp and the second damper shuts fan turns off .
Reasons for this are two fold
1 cut the cost of second fan and carbon filter and running costs
And 2nd reason is less noise from 2 fans plus I can make it first picture is one of the dampers ,second picture is looking at the butterfly flap inside throat.

 

[Absorber]

Designed a couple of holders to stop aeration rings from floating im going to silicone the holders down in the bottom of each bucket.
