This is a single-hole top plate designed for the Modular Hydroponic NFT Gutter Base. It’s part of the same modular system I created because square rain gutters are not readily available where I live—and when they are, they only come in 1 m segments at nearly the same cost as printing my own. With these printed parts, I can build a fully customizable NFT hydroponic system.

The plate features one centered 55 mm hole, sized for large net pots. This makes it ideal for bigger plants that need more space and root volume, such as:

Tomatoes

Peppers

Cucumbers (compact/dwarf varieties)

Larger herbs like basil or mint

Any crop that benefits from NFT hydroponics but requires more room than leafy greens.

Features:

Quick and easy print without supports

Sized to fit the base module exactly

Works with glue or snap connection

Can be sealed with TPU flanges (released separately)

Mix and match with other top plates for a flexible setup

Other parts in this system (separate designs):

Base module (main gutter body)

Blank top plate

Multi-hole top plates (for lettuce & herbs)

Connection clips

TPU flanges for watertight sealing

End covers

With this setup, you can build an NFT hydroponic system that supports both small leafy greens and larger fruiting crops.
