Included you will find my original designs for a hackable mechanical 3D printed precision seeder that I created in order to make adjustments in sowing seeds in any which way. Currently it can sow most vegetable seeds based on a few generalized seed discs but these may be redesigned and 3D printed to the user's liking. I have also developed a seed counter as an add-on however it is still in development to try a more sensitive sensor to detect smaller seeds. All measurements are U.S. Customary values in inches and most of the assembly hardware can be found in most hardware stores. A parts list will soon be included.
I am a market gardener and I want a tool to sow seeds because seeds are expensive and tools available are few.
If you have a market garden where you sell vegetables and are finding that you are spending too much money on seeds this project might be for you. Some people may still broadcast or sprinkle seeds by hand, however with a precision seeder that counts, not only can you sow seeds equally spaced to keep from wasting seeds, you can even get to the point where you add on an electronic seed counter that will detect seeds as they fall into the ground. How many times have you ran a seeder only to find out that nothing came up, well, was it bad seed, or were the seeds stuck in the mecha
