This project originated as a proof of concept for building a (non-professional) tool for investigating the physical characteristics of soils and clays for raw earth constructions/plasters.It consists of a set of 5 sieves with square mesh sizes of 1.5 - 1.0 - 0.75 - 0.50 - 0.30 mm (mesh thickness 0.40 mm, equal to the nozzle) useful for roughly evaluating the particle size distribution of clays, powders, and granules. The sieves can be arranged in a cascade to estimate the particle size distribution (assuming no chemical/electrostatic interactions with the plastic of the sieve).The components of this project were designed to be used with a "vibrating sieves" device, but that's another story…Technical note: to quickly create the mesh of the net, I used a "modifier" on the bottom of the sieve and set the "sparse infill pattern" to "Grid" with different values of "sparse infill density" depending on the sieve (without Bottom and Top layers).
