I have sprouted seeds since 1986, so I know a thing or two about it!
Frustrated with sub optimal designs, I created this ultimate solution - with the features you actually need for successful easy sprouting. A dozen prototypes later here we are...
Dual hole sizes in one Lid: For small seeds like alfalfa, broccoli, small holes prevent pouring them away. Larger holes on the other side for fast complete draining for larger sproutlings.
Filter Funnel - easy to fill, no need to remove lid.
Inner lip - this helps prevent the sproutlings from getting stuck in the corner between the jar and the lid.
perfect thread easily fits jar.
Large slotted sprouter: Sunflower/Mung beans are two of my favourites. But you want to easily remove the skins. With the large slotted sprouter versions (included), the design helps these skins get poured off.
Stand - additional bonus, comes with a stand which is lightweight, fast to print, and strong. We have found the lids drain so well you probably don’t need it - but its good to have the option.
Sprouter Lid Fits standard ‘pickle’ jars. These are readily available (for under £/$). Eat the pickles, wash, use the jar! See the last two pictures for example of jar and lid type.
Why get this 3d design vs buying sprouting kit?
Unique really well thought out design. Patent Pending.
Great for continuous sprouting with three or more jars on the go.
A sprouting kit (lid and jar) costs at least £10. 3D printing will save you a lot of $$$.
Makes a great gift too.
Why sprouting?
Sprouted seeds are full of vitality full of bio-available nutrients, and super fresh.
Supplementing your diet with them is good for health and wallet.
I find I don’t need to buy nearly so much fresh veg - sprouting is cheeper, easier, fresher, oh - and massively reduces food miles too!
How to sprout:
Just cover the bottom of the jar with seeds - they will fill the entire jar! Soak them for a few hours or overnight.
Rinse sprouts twice a day - morning and evening.
This hydrates, washes and oxygenates the growing seeds.
This is the only time I would recommend using tap water. The chlorine helps prevent unwanted bacteria. It is important to rinse twice every day.
Luckily with this design it takes mere seconds.
After 3 days they are ready to eat.
When complete, wash the jar and lid.
Hot soapy water is fine for food safe pla / petg. Dry after washing.
3D printing settings
Recommend food safe filament. PLA/PETG both fine. The hexagonal lid design ensures the print is strong enough.
No Supports, Raft or Brim (exception is the stand which needs an outer 4mm brim).
Print First layer or two slowly. After that, go as fast as your printer can perform.
Outer Layers: 3
Infill 10% line. (fast)
A hot bed is a good thing for adhesion, and irons the topside (with the holes nicely). I go with 60c.
