Description
This is my "Hydroponics Tower"
The tower is printed in ABS (or similar)
Please read the full description!
I currently run the water and air pump for 5 minutes every 60 minutes (for strawberries). The power consumption is 0.05 kWh per day
Components and accessories used:
- Make 3D print waterproof (https://www.3djake.com/diamant-polymer/dichtol-am-hydro

- Fertilizer (https://www.grow-shop24.de/hesi-starter-box-hydro)
- Hose - I got this from the hardware store. 15 mm outer diameter, 12 mm inner diameter
In retrospect, the tower cost me about three times as much as if I had ordered a pre-made one online… I just wanted to try it out…
Filament (ABS) + all devices + nutrients/fertilizer = approx 300 €
I wouldn't do it again..
I am available for any questions
I would be happy to receive a comment with a photo of your print!
I sealed the pot 4-5 times with “Dimant” and yet it was not 100% waterproof. Or rather, it was for 24 hours. But then bubbles formed, and I no longer trusted the whole thing… That's why I also used a plastic bag inside the pot.
Conclusion: The hydroponics tower works very well. But it could have been obtained much cheaper
