A simple process such as planting the seeds in #garden can be time consuming.
I learnt that the hard way...all that dirt, sweat and labor intensive work is fun, but can be optimized.
Solution? Having a technical background, and a small amount of knowledge of designing can do wonders in these times.
I already had a problem statement and now was the time to brainstorm and find some answers. This is when I came up with the designs for the seed planters.
The submission consists of 2 designs:
Version 1: The first version, inspired by a "push-click pen" has a simple design. One just needs to fill the seeds and needs a simple everyday spring. Now, just go to your lawn, push the body in and press the button from the top. This will push out if and any dirt which might have entered during the plunging process and along with it open up the way for the seeds to fall in. Thus, a simple click pen method to plant seeds.
version 2: The second model is inspired by a "see-saw", to eliminate even having a spring, and make the planter completely 3D printed, the push mechanism is replace with that of a lever mechanism, in this case, the lever from one end is pushed down, which lifts up the pin, thereby letting the seeds fall into the ground once the planter is dipped into the soil.
