HeartSeed

Concept

HeartSeed is a 3D-printed hydroponic planter for growing microgreens on a countertop, designed to make a small act of growing food simple and pleasant at home.

Sold out at the OCAD U Spring Market, which showed there is real appetite for the object. [Expand on the design intent and who it is for.]

Technical

The planter was modeled [in Rhino] and 3D printed in PLA bioplastic, with a reservoir and wicking arrangement sized for microgreens. [Add: how the hydroponic system works, print settings, and the iterations it went through.]

Files are available on [MakerLab profile, link].
