Looking for some specific size net pots (hexbear.net)

One of my coworkers asked if it would be possible for me to 3D print some hydroponic gardening supplies, and I was like hell yeah, so I looked into it. I showed him a couple designs and we settled on building this thing. I'm definitely going to make one for myself as well. (I think an NFT design would be better, but I don't have the space for one and he preferred the tower design).

The whole point of 3D printing the thing is to reduce costs (apparently you can buy shit like this, but it's hella expensive). However, net pots are dirt cheap and it would be really cool to buy them instead of 3D printing them. The catch is, this design uses rather deep pots, and even Lord Bezos is not making them easy to find.

I haven't started printing anything yet (waiting for larger diameter nozzles in the mail) so I have some time to modify the parts, but I was wondering if anybody knows about garden suppliers which carry stuff like this. Specifically, I'm looking for rather deep net pots which are about 53mm / 2" in diameter (easy to find) but 93mm / 4" deep (not so easy to find).

I can print them if I need to, but it will literally take days.

Also, if any more experienced gardeners have any thoughts / concerns / recommendations about this design, I'd be delighted to hear them.
