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. --- I’m publishing this as part of 100 Days To Offload.
