For electrical projects like these you need to make it MUCH clearer that you are in the US. The light bulbs you specify are specifically for 110V AC. They will NOT work if you are in a country that supplies different value mains voltage.
Why the 9W limit? Is it because of heat or current draw?
Was not aware of this so thanks for bringing it to my attention! The 9W limit is to minimize heat. If you can find low wattage LED grow bulbs that will work outside the US, please let me know!
Very similar but 12W and not 9W but as the UK has 240V AC then the current is actually less than the 9W 110V AC bulb. The fitting type is a bit ambiguous on Amazon so I may buy these bulbs anyway and see what they actually are!!
I think I will print this and test this light bulb and come back with results. It will take a couple of weeks.
Is there a properly sized insert for the planter available? Being that it'll be on my office desk and I typically take my plants to the sink to water, it may be a pain to unplug and move the entire thing when it's water time. I know most of your other designs make use of a planter insert.
It would be good if the thread where the set screw goes into could be made a bit longer. Perhaps add a cylinder that protrudes rearwards by a few millimetres and lengthen the set screw? It would make it more secure.
Also a cover for the lamp cables will be nice for keep the style when print in other color, not black or white, the colors of the lamp cables in amazon.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to download this - my printer can only do up to 6in x6in x6in. Would this work?
Any confirmed altenative for Europe pls?

There is a possibility of releasing another version adapted to the bambu lamp kit 001?
The lamp kit isn't a grow light so kind of defeats the purpose

The drip drawer need a magnet or something to stay when lift the whole planter.
The drawer has been updated to be contained within the riser. Also added a few drawer pull options to make it easier to take out!
