So added OG logoed puck to that cults link, for resin printers i suggest printing logo side up if you print these.

Nice!
If you angle the sides (2~3 degrees) from vertical, the imprint will be flawless.

These look amazing! Thanks for sharing these designs! For those of us that don’t have 3d printers or the know how I wonder if there’s a member on here that would print up some we could buy&cover time/materials and post costs as this would make international trading sensational! I’m going to ask a few of my mates over here if they can possibly help out
Much respect for this! True OG spirit right here! :v:

@Mr.Sparkle I meant to ask you this earlier today but forgot. Last night I was sewing up one of my kids stuffed animals, and thought the small case would be a cool way to send seeds. Is this something you would be able to print? It has a sliding cover dovetailed to the base of it.

You could do sliding covers downside is likely overall they will be too thick for regular postage, this the seed pucks with a sticker on one side.

What’s the thickness allowed for a standard postage?

5mm here in Canada and most countries or right around 3/16" in freedom units

Yeah been lookin there mostly.
Printed a 20 of your single cell seed pucks and they are lovely n simple i do like the hex shapes, dont have any stickers but i figure ill slap on masking tape and itll do the job.

Have you ever thought about indenting strain names round the perimeter … i figure with stickers you can pretty easily just get custom stickers with the names on em for pennies.

Strain name specifically no, have i done my user name yup, one has to put in a little paint or something as it makes it hard to read and then associated cleanup or sanding to make it nice, for the resin prints its actually easier and looks better if the lettering can be done on the print surface vs say up a wall thats being printed.

As for stickers you may get lucky at a dollar store or stationary place, look for coding dots they come in 1" and 3/4" otherwise places like aliexpress sells 300 for $2-3

Really i haven’t been printing as no real need to as im not shipping seeds or making miniatures since say early last winter as of late printed up some “cone artist” smaller cone parts so i could use 1 1/4’s vs kings you have to use with them the hopper part just being a Chinese direct cheap version, and being playing with logo’s/avatars seed puck wise plus some resin tinkering.

I need to make a new clay stamp this weekend for some pottery classes im doing as i just want to change up from just my name on my old stamp.

@Mr.Sparkle Yo bro, these are SO cool! :sunglasses: Thank you for doing this! I’ve gotten a few of these in the mail from OG’ers and plan to switch over from coin-flips & washers. I’m off in search of a 3D printer shop now! There’s gotta be somebody on the island here doing it! Thanks again!

@Mr.Sparkle (or anybody else that knows!) Okay, full day of searching and finally found one place that ‘might’ print them for me! Now, since I’m looking at a ‘business’ to do this and not one of the OG’ers around here, what’s a “fair” price on printing these things? Say at 25 pcs and 100 pcs. The guy sounded a bit reluctant, he actually sells the printers and doesn’t usually do printing jobs, so it may be a bit pricey…just would like to have some idea of what to expect.
(I’ll probably pay whatever he asks anyway! :rofl:)
Thanks for any replies! :pray:

Itll depend on what material but the pucks print fast. They might charge up to or around £5 an hour of printing plus material. Soooo your guess is as good as mine.

@Bob13 Thanks for that! Now you bring up a good point…what’s the consensus on the ‘best’ material to print these with?

Depends what its used for. I stick to PLA which is pretty basic and does the job for seed pucks, its one of the most common for people to start with using with a filament printer and it might be the cheapest.
