Greenhouse Tower

Greenhouse Tower – Modular & Scalable Hydroponic System

Welcome to the Greenhouse Tower, a fully customizable, modular vertical garden designed for maximum growth and efficiency! This system features a unique enclosed greenhouse design that ensures perfect humidity, while the integrated hydroponic core provides optimal oxygen supply to the roots, leading to extremely fast plant growth.

Key Features:

• Fully Scalable: The tower is completely modular. You can stack it as high as you want to fit your space!
• Optimized Root Health: Engineered for perfect aeration and nutrient delivery.
• Large Capacity: The reservoir base holds up to 12 liters of water/nutrient solution.

Filament Recommendations

• PETG or ASA: It is highly recommended to print the structural parts in PETG or ASA.
  • Tip: PETG is much easier to print for most. If you use ASA, be mindful of shrinkage and warping on large parts.
• Side Panels (Printed Alternative): You can print the transparent side panels using Translucent PETG. However, to achieve good transparency, they must be printed with 100% infill, which becomes very expensive.

Hardware & Bill of Materials (BOM)

To keep the project budget-friendly, using standard plastic sheets for the walls is highly recommended over printing them.

1. Wall & Door Panels (Per Module)

For every single module you add to your tower, you will need:

• 3x Panels: 319 x 274 mm (8 mm thick) – PVC or Polycarbonate sheets recommended for the walls.
• 1x Panel: 319 x 274 mm (6 mm thick) – Used for the front door.
• (Note: Multiply these quantities by the number of modules you plan to stack!)

2. Ventilation & Lighting (Crucial for Indoor/Greenhouse Growth)

• Fans: 2x 120mm PC Fans for active cross-ventilation.
  • Placement: Install one at the very bottom on one side (intake / air in) and the second one at the very top on the opposite side (exhaust / air out).
• Lighting: LED Growing Lights are highly recommended to ensure your plants get the perfect light spectrum for explosive growth, especially when used indoors or in shaded areas.

3. Plumbing & Assembly

• Water Hose: 16 mm diameter (standard hydroponic/aquarium hose).
• Silicone Sealant: For safety and to prevent any leaks, it is highly recommended to seal the joints and grooves with aquarium-safe silicone during assembly.

Print Settings Advice

• Material: PETG / ASA
• Perimeters/Walls: 3-4 for stability
• Infill: 15-20% (except for translucent panels, if you choose to print them, which require 100%).

Happy printing, and enjoy your massive harvests!
