Understanding and engineering the logic behind plant decisions

1.5ml Microcentrifuge Tube holder with lid

I designed this box to put my Eppendorf tubes in during incubation, this allows me to lie the tube on its side in the shaker without the worry of the tube popping open. I currently use this on an almost daily basis and it has worked well.

Bead dispenser for 3mm glass beads

I remixed this from a lasercut design. Added my own spin on it as with 3d printing you can adjust some features that you can't with just laser cutting. Some people still prefer just to use their fingers instead of this, but worth a try.

Culture tube rack

I created this to hold 15ml culture tubes at a 45-degree angle during incubation. It is designed to fit a 17x100mm tube. Tubes fit snuggly so there is no movement during shaking.

Pollen Collector

Cyclone dust separators are commonplace in woodshops and I thought one would work really well to help with the collection of pollen. So I designed one that can be taken apart and cleaned in between uses to prevent cross-contamination.
