Plant separators for AUK mini

For those who, like me, need to have a hydroponic garden where plants don't overshadow each other, and when a cut is made, larger plants don't crush or block light from smaller ones preventing their growth, these supports are for you.

Print 3 long bases (first at the bottom of the slicer) which are used to insert 2mm thick plexiglass sheets, 175mm wide and 250mm high (height can be chosen as desired, but with 25cm you have the maximum possible height as shown in the photos)

Then print 2 plexiglass stoppers (the second from the bottom when looking at the slicer photo)

Finally, print 2 anchoring brackets for the wooden stakes of the structure (third from the bottom in the slicer)

The fourth support, starting from the bottom of the slicer, is only needed if you want to make only 2 separators instead of 3

You can get the plexiglass online: I found custom-sized panels at a great price from this direct link:

The kit is extremely robust and functional, and the separators can be removed individually in a few seconds, allowing you to prune the plants (this can still be done using long scissors)

The cost of the 3 plexiglass panels is around 20 euros including shipping, the printing cost is minimal, less than 90 grams for everything

I made a single slicer file with all the necessary parts.

Printing in matte white PLA provides an optimal match with the AUK mini design (or matte black for those who have the dark version)

If you like the idea, give me a like 😊
