Hydroponic farming tower

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

A fully 3D printable gardening tower. The design was thought to 3D print without the need of supportmaterial in all parts but the screen holder. Easy assembly and intuitive use. As external components (not 3D printed), you will need:

-> x2 M3x50 screws and x2 M3 nuts. -> E-poxy resin (for the water reservoir).

The rest of components are not related to the assembly, such as plant pots, water nutrients, water pump...

Printing tips.

As for printing, you will need a bed of 300 by 300 at least. Not achievable in a small print bed, as otherwise I could not fit as many plants as I wanted. Feel free to ask me for the specs design files if you want to modify it :).

For printing material, there are 2 I could recommend.

You could use PETG for its resistance to water and UV light, although it can be pricey in some cases, so you can also print in PLA and later add e-poxy resin all over the print and let it dry for 24-48 hours so this way your print will be more resistant enough to water and nutrients and also to UV light (although not forever).

Can you post some pictures of a working unit? I have some questions about how to install some tubing on this. Thank you for the design!

Is there a way you could add channel guides to run a cable through to suspend the planter portion? I love the planters for my aquaponics setup I'm designing but I want to suspend it from the top of the cabinet I'm making it in. My plan for drainage would be a bottom basin that could connect to some tubing or free drain out the bottom.

Hey man! I have some questions about that but I am sure I can make something up. Please, can you send me an email to: "maiktcp@hotmail.com" explaining and giving me your idea? Thanks! :D
