Description
This is a modular mesh/ screen for sieving.
The modularity allows you to print the main body and the collecting bowl only once. The modular screen- inserts are very lightweight and easy to store so you can print alot of different sizes. I made it for vermicomposting to separate worm castings but it will work for all kinds of sieving-purposes. There is also a lid with air holes.
Because of the honeycomb shape it will have appr. 30% more openings per area compared to a rectangular stainless steel mesh of the same grid.
Adjust the mesh size and geometry to your liking by changing the infill pattern or density in the modifier-object in the slicer. You can also test a custom mesh size by printing the infill tester file.
For vermicomposting its best to use 6mm (1/4') (12% infill) and 3mm (1/8') meshes (20%infill).
For particles of ≤ 3mm I recommend the thin screen (1.5mm thick) to make clogging less likely.
For particles > 3mm I recommend the thick screen (3mm thick).
