Seed starting tray with drainage cells

A modular seed tray gives each seedling its own cell so roots do not tangle and transplanting is painless. This tray is 200 x 140 x 60 mm with 24 tapered cells of 30 mm square at the top and 22 mm at the base, a 5 mm drainage hole per cell, 1.2 mm walls and a rim that stacks on another tray for storage. The draft angle lets root plugs push out from below. Print it in PETG or ASA; PLA softens on a hot windowsill. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Example prompt

Design a seed starting tray 200 x 140 x 60 mm with a 6 x 4 grid of tapered cells 30 mm square at top and 22 mm at bottom, a 5 mm drainage hole per cell, 1.2 mm walls, and a 3 mm stacking rim.

This prompt comes with the ready-made model when you sign in, in case you want the AI to redesign it (3 credits a redesign); changing numbers in the viewer is free.

Fit notes

SpeakCAD sizes the tray to your propagator lid, windowsill depth or greenhouse shelf, and adjusts cell count and depth for the seeds you sow. Ask for a matching drip tray or label slots in the same conversation. The model previews in your browser before you download.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
