Indoor Hydroponic Machine Replacement Baskets

Needed some new plant baskets for my Aerogarden tabletop hydroponics machine but, didn't want a three hour print. I found Gustav Ferdman's make and changed it to suit my needs. You print it in two pieces with the legs and bottom flat so the layer lines give it more strength. I made it a little easier to print and assemble by adding some painted brim ears at the ends of the legs, and making a press fit feature (also at the ends of the legs). I also added some little target bumps on the base to make it easier to assemble straight. I printed mine in PLA but, I think PETG would work a little better since it bends a little better. <Edit> PETG does work a little better but PLA works fine also.

To assemble, bend the legs upward and push each into the gap provided in the base. To make positioning easier, there's a little nub in the outer ring of the base for each leg.
