<p>This modular hydroponics tower lets you grow a large amount of plants without the need of lots of room. Each module fits 3x 50mm (2 inch) pots and has the water tube running up the middle. Just stack as many modules as you require.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each module is designed to fit 3 M3x4x5 heat-inserts and bolt together using M3 x 6mm bolts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I designed this to fit on a small 3D printer, with a build area required of 170 x 170.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the bottom of the stack you need the Base with a 16mm barb fitting and the optional base clamp (to clamp to the other side of a container lid) and attach it to a submersible pump.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the top you push in the shower head and bolt on the lid. I drilled out the holes of the top module to 4.5mm to fit in 3 heat-inserts to make this secure but it does function fine without the lid bolted down.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Have fun growing!</p>

<p>Check out the Gridfinity Ultra-Light Bin System. With so much to print in the Gridfinity universe, this system helps you save time, filament and money, allowing you to print even more Gridfinity stuff...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It all started with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/265271-gridfinity-lite-economical-plain-storage-bins" rel="nofollow noopener">Gridfinity Lite Bins from Jake</a>. But I thought maybe they could be even lighter without losing stability. So, I redesigned them from the ground up and achieved an ultra-light version of it that is not a flimsy as a vase mode bin.</p><p>To put it in perspective for a 3x4x6 bin:</p><ul><li><strong>Slicer:</strong> OrcaSlicer</li><li><strong>Printer:</strong> BambuLab P1S</li><li><strong>Layer Height:</strong> 0.20 mm</li><li><strong>Wall Loops:</strong> 2</li><li><strong>Top/Bottom Shell layers:</strong> 3</li><li><strong>Sparse Infill Density:</strong> 10%</li></ul><figure class="table" style="width:99.9%;"><table><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);width:33.3%;"><strong>Version</strong></td><td style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);width:33.3%;"><strong>Filament Usage</strong></td><td style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);width:33.3%;"><strong>Print Time</strong></td></tr><tr><td style="width:33.3%;"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/184201-gridfinity-plain-bins/files" rel="nofollow noopener">Original Bin</a></td><td style="width:33.3%;">98.06 g</td><td style="width:33.3%;">2 h 37 min</td></tr><tr><td style="width:33.3%;"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.printables.com/model/265271-gridfinity-lite-economical-plain-storage-bins" rel="nofollow noopener">Lite Version</a></td><td style="width:33.3%;">83.01 g</td><td style="width:33.3%;">2 h 10 m</td></tr><tr><td style="width:33.3%;">Ultra Light Version</td><td style="width:33.3%;">61.96 g</td><td style="width:33.3%;">1 h 31 min</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>In comparison to the original, this version saves approximately 37% of filament and about 42% of print time. Compared to the lite version, it saves about 25% of filament and around 30% of print time – savings that can be reinvested in more Gridfinity stuff. ;)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you encounter any issues when printing the bins or need a size that is not available, please feel free to let me know. I will either fix the error or upload the missing parts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Happy printing :)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Other Editions</h3><figure class="table" style="width:80%;"><table><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;width:50%;"><p><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/228212" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Plain Label Edition</strong></a></p><p>Plain bins with labels</p></td><td style="width:50%;"><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/640846/2024-03-05_e0a09f3767c6f.png"></figure></td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>How to find your bin</h3><p>The <strong>first two numbers</strong> indicate the grids in the X and Y directions. One grid is 42 x 42 mm. So, for example, a 2x3x_ box would be 84 mm in the X direction and 126 mm in the Y direction.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/627719/rich_content/a4da4e15-79e3-49c7-b431-38f7454231cd/thumbs/cover/800x470/png/unbenannt.webp"></figure><p>The <strong>third number</strong> indicates the height of a box. One height unit is 7 mm. On top of that height comes a lip with approximately 4.4 mm of height to stack the next box onto it. So, for example, a _x_x3 would be around about 25.4 mm high. If you want to know more, there is a very good <a target="_blank" href="https://gridfinity.xyz/specification/" rel="nofollow noopener">website</a>, where all the specifications are explained.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Changelog</h3><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table><thead><tr><th style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);width:15.5%;">Date</th><th style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);width:12%;">Version</th><th style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);width:23%;">Type</th><th style="background-color:hsl(120, 75%, 60%);">Comment</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="width:15.5%;">2024-03-05</td><td style="text-align:center;width:12%;">V2.0</td><td style="width:23%;">Release</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>&nbsp;</p>
