The hydroponics tub, I created specifically for an elderly client who desires to grow plants indoors without the hassle of soil. This compact and efficient hydroponics solution measures 60mm in width, 120mm in length, and 100mm in height, making it an ideal fit for limited spaces while providing ample room for nutrient-rich water to support plant growth.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 60mm (W) x 120mm (L) x 100mm (H)
• Material: Durable PLA or PETG plastic, both known for their strength and water resistance
• Layer Height: 0.2mm for fine detail and smooth surface finish
• Infill: 15% for a balance between strength and material efficiency
• Walls: 3 walls to ensure the tub is watertight and robust

Additional Features:

• Net Pots Compatibility: Designed to accommodate 50mm net pots. You can either purchase these pots or 3D print them to fit seamlessly into the tub.
• Ease of Use: Simple to set up and maintain, making hydroponics accessible for beginners and hobbyists.
• Customizable: The design allows for easy modifications if you wish to tailor it to specific plant requirements or space constraints.

Assembly Guide:

1. Print Both Parts: Ensure that you have the correct 3D models for the tub and the lid. Print both parts using PLA or PETG with the specified settings: 0.2mm layer height, 15% infill, and 3 walls.
2. Fit the Lid: Once both parts are printed, insert the lid into the top of the tub. The fit may be snug to ensure a secure closure.
3. Adjust if Necessary: If the lid is too tight, scale the lid down to 99.5% of its original size and reprint. This slight reduction should provide a better fit without compromising the seal.

This hydroponics tub provides an excellent environment for growing a variety of plants, from herbs to leafy greens, in a controlled and soil-free setup.
