This is a seedling starter kit I have put together for use with Aerogarden's and other similar style desktop hydroponic/aeroponic growing systems. For use with rockwool method mainly, may work with other methods as well.

The root saver breaks apart when its time to transfer to main 3/5 gallon pots (or whatever you use). they can be reused with the lids they print in place with. the lids have flexible fingers that can be removed if needed as the plant growns. the point of this setup is to break away for transplanting without damaging the plant at all.

the root-saver holder creates a dark, moist gap to keep the bottom of the rockwool damp, not saturated, helping the taproot reach the hydronic solution faster and more healthily.

the lid is to create the greenhouse effect, if your grow area is already the correct humidity then you may not need to use. but for us who use a single space for multiple plant stages, it can be rather helpful to create the correct environment. I used clear PETG filament, id assume any clear filament will suffice. NOTE: This lid will lower the intensity of the light reaching the plant, I recommend using the Photone App on your smart phone to check PPFD for your application (free app).

I have also included a stand for the holder, in case you need stand-alone use. Threw in a small plug to cover any open holes your aerogarden station may have.

Happy growing!! I have tested this method thoroughly with several different plant strains, without issue. Feel free to post your results for us to see!

settings: i used basic preset .20mm settings in creality slicer, used hyper PETG, ABS, and PLA. worked will with all three at high print speeds on K1C.
