Making a strainer lid for sprouts

I've been growing sprouts as part of the permaculture course I mentioned in previous posts. The first time round I grew alfalfa sprouts in a mason jar, using a piece of cloth held together with a rubber band as a lid. The cloth didn't drain that easily, so I wanted something a little bit more suited to the task.

I recently got hold of some mung beans to grow proper bean sprouts, and decided to 3D print a sprout growing mason jar strainer I found on prusaprinters.org.

So far it's been working great, and I'll be printing another one with smaller holes for the alfalfa seeds as well.
