I forgot that I ordered these, but a while ago I placed a custom order for some 3D printed AeroGarden covers. They haven't arrived yet, but they were printed:  I'll post updates about how well they work, although I'm sure you'll see them on the threads in my Garden anyway  |

Please do tell how they do. If they work well, can we order them ourselves?

If they work well, can we order them ourselves? You should be able to! I can share the schematics and where I ordered them from. (it's not something I designed, but rather something I found online) |

I will wait to see how you like them and how they fit along with the pricing.

I have 100 of the new stick-ons. I also bought 50 of the old style labels from Amazon, so I can slit and reuse them like Shawn does.
So I am well stocked for a while.

I have some of the stickers (they were in a kit I have). I am not fond of them. They rip too easy. I like the older version. |

Shawn , I like the older ones better, too. I thought of gluing 2 of the new ones together back to back to make stronger reusable covers.

Do you have a link handy for the source for these? I'm hoping to get the files to print myself. 🙂

nick , you are so lucky to have the ability to do this. If I did I would get these made. How are you and your gardens?

They finally arrived today, and I'm really happy with them! They don't snap together like I thought they would - instead they just fall into place and the "locks" prevent the halves from being pushed off the pod by the plant.  |

Looks good. And if the trunks get too thick you can remove one half and then the other.

I am envious of those that can do this. Although do not need another machine (other then AG) in my house LOL

I've been using these for a while now and I've been very happy with them. I can even unlock the two halves but leave them on the pod - continuing to block out light but allowing the plant to push the cover off as it grows.

Do you have the direct link for them? I looked but could not find. There's no direct purchase link as far as I know, but you'll want this 3D model file, which you can upload to Treatstock or another 3D printing service. I chose white PLA for the material and the default infill of 20%. |
