3D model description

This project is designed to germinate Chia seeds, although other small seeds can also be used.
The seeds must first be activated by placing them in a container with water that barely covers them for several minutes. A gelatinous substance will be generated.
Then they should be spread on the upper part of the grid, taking care that they are not very overlapping. The grid is placed in the container with water to the bottom of it and is kept covered for the first 2 days to generate a greenhouse effect. From the second day it is left uncovered, taking care to maintain the water level to the bottom of the grid. A spray can be used to moisten the sprouts a couple of times a day, but in my case it was not necessary.
Although Chia sprouts can be consumed as food, we recommend that in this case the impression be made with filaments approved for this purpose.

Este proyecto está diseñado para germinar semillas de Chia, aunque también se pueden utilizar otras semillas pequeñas.
Primero deben activarse las semillas colocándolas en un recipiente con agua que apenas las cubra por varios minutos. Se generará una sustancia gelatinosa.
Luego se deben esparcir en la parte superior de la rejilla cuidando que no estén muy superpuestas. Se coloca la rejilla en el contenedor con agua hasta la parte inferior de la misma y se mantiene tapado los 2 primeros días para generar un efecto invernadero. A partir del segundo día se deja destapado, cuidando de mantener el nivel de agua hasta la parte inferior de la rejilla. Puede utilizarse un spray para humedecer los brotes un par de veces por día, pero en mi caso no fue necesario.
Si bien los brotes de Chia pueden ser consumidos como alimento, recomendamos que en ese caso la impresión sea realizada con filamentos aprobados para este fin.

3D printing settings

This model is specifically designed to use 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 layer height. These parameters are essential to optimize printing.
