I love it when my hobbies collide.
Is this PLA or ABS? Not to be 'that guy' ^TM^ but I would be worried about microplastics and leaching if you are eating that lettuce!

Sure... a typical setup strictly for growing "lettuce". Nothing else to see here...!

Looking forward to when we can print the lettuce directly.
Now THAT's a good solution, so much better than trying to do it in one of those silly pod setups that don't give enough room for growth.
what a beautiful image!
I love all the comments about people being worried about microplastics, as if it's not already impossible to avoid them. Don't get me wrong, adding more and going out of your way to eat plastic ain't great, but this is such a small scale fun little hobby!
You must have a massive printer to make those huge tubs though and that's what I'm intrigued by
replies:
looks nice but that is a great way to get microplastic infused lettuce

I've used milk jugs as plant pots before. It's food safe material and you can easily design a build around it. Better not have anything 3D printed come into contact with food.
