Happy Hydroponicing!
AWESOME!!! 🙂 Just had a quick question regarding the filament. White will allow some light in, is there any benefit going black to block out the light?
I think somewhere in the middle would be ideal, maybe a pigment heavy filament in grey.
Unless you’ve got a printer with a tool changer (head swap) then I’d recommend white on the outer layers, and black internally.
(I’m in talks with bambu labs about doing a H2C review on release with this idea in mind)
@Hoocho Thanks for that. Are we thinking a light colour on the outside to help keep it cool?
I don’t have a colour changer at the moment, but with a STEP file might be able to design a black insert… I’ll check google drive
I find I have a fair bit of success altering my print settings, from default, ever so slightly: I use 0.16mm layer height, rather than the normal 0.2mm, and I increase the nozzle temp by 5°C so that it melts just a little better and you get better inter-layer adhesion. This way, overall, I find the print is generally smoother and the instance of leakage is significantly reduced, without having to increase the infill percentage.
MR BIG DOG!!! We just got word, they just hit the second tower.
Many thanks
I was just lamenting about needing 25 or more pumps to satisfy my desire for hydroponic towers. And our main man drops this on us… What’s next high density tower sections half height with 8 plant openings each?
Shouldn’t you be increasing flow ratio if you want to prevent leakage more so than infill density wall count?
Do you have a Hydroland distributor in New Zealand yet? or are there plans to allow shipping from Aus to NZ?
That was awesome! Looking forward for the updates of this system how did it turn out with perhaps a timelapse if you filmed one!
If you print ASA, which is recommended for its excellent UV resistance when exposed to direct sunlight, you can use the acetone vapour smoothing technique to ensure the layers are sealed. It might not be the easiest thing to get right. Ensure good ventilation during the process. Acetone is highly flammable so use caution. You can also get better layer adhesion if you temper the parts after the print. For sealing between layers I think O-rings would be neat and simple, they are also cheap in bulk.
What if the inline pipe runs across the top of the tower? Is it a bad idea?
Fantastic but just a thought and maybe also reduce leaks, why not have the water inlet at the top of the tower?
That was my guess too. You’d relieve lots of pressure and put it on the tubing instead. Maybe even route the tubing through the middle of the tower from the bottom?
Such an epic creation! Next stop, infinity tower modular system!
Thanks for this video, it’s great! Wouldn’t it be more practical to supply the towers from the top, so the pump only has to do the work uphill and then gravity does the rest? And that way there will be less pressure on the walls?
Hot tip, you can set up the slicer to print 100% infill only in certain sections of the print
No Timelapse and groovy Timelapse music 😥
17:30 mililiters are NOT grams
How many grams in a mL of water?
Hi, for the pump filter material, I’m assuming that this is where you got it, but I use a very similar filter material for industrial electrical cabinet fans. It’s available from spotlight in Australia by the metre.
This looks awesome – Although I would advise against using clear gloss spray paints or really spray paint in general. It contains plasticizers that are toxic and break down with constant water contact. Instead use a food safe epoxy.
Hydroland doesn’t ship to the USA. I’m crying
Very nice 👌
