💪 Durable & strong – Designed for long-term outdoor use
🌼 Improves soil health – Ideal for gardens, raised beds, and plant pots

I have designed an alternative lid, complete with drainage holes and theme-specific symbols in multiple colors. You can find it here: https://makerworld.com/de/models/2822648-spezialdeckel-fur-hochbeet-komposter#profileId-3143794

Hello have you tried scaling it down in the slicer

@mkrz

Replying to @user_3970652798 :

When scaling down, the holes also get smaller

Why not just take a bucket. Drill a hole and lower it

And the lid?

@fredrik.arvidss

Lock?

@user_1192103168

Replying to @user_3970652798 :

There are snap on tops for buckets that add a screw on lid. Gamma Seal and Leaktite are a few, but there are cheaper versions if you search.

@user_885984067

Love the design, only think it could be better with bigger holes to reduce printing time/cost because I do want a few more of these. Any chance you could upload a variant we can print with less materials ? Would boost design if you can.

the lid got stuck after a night outside, I still coudnt get it out, any idea what the cause is?

The designer has replied

@user_3970652798

I cannot tell you that. With me, the thing has been out for a long time and can still be opened without problems

lots of stringing inside the lid and the opening at the very end of the print, which was unfortunate. still usable but not perfect.
