Hydroponic Net Pot in 45mm and 55mm Sizes

Design preview. Rendered from the file, not a photo.
This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Net pots for NFT hydroponic systems
- Available in 45 mm and 55 mm hole sizes
- Holds vermiculite, perlite, clay balls, and similar media
- Saves money on commercial net pots that break
- Grows tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, and more
You drop the net pot into the NFT system and the lettuce roots find the nutrient film. These pots are sized for 45 mm and 55 mm holes drilled in 100x50 mm rectangular downpipe NFT systems.
The mesh bottom holds growing media (vermiculite, perlite, clay balls, coco coir) while letting roots reach the nutrient solution. Use them for tomatoes, beans, lettuce, brassica, celery, basil, and more in NFT setups.
Print in PLA for indoor systems and the pots last through many crop cycles.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
