hydroponics garden v1.1

Hydroponics Garden v1.1 is a compact and modular hydroponic growing system designed for indoor use.

It is ideal for growing herbs, lettuce, and other leafy greens using minimal water and no soil. The design is optimized for 3D printing and easy assembly, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced makers.

⚠ Work in Progress
This project is still a work in progress. I have recently ordered the components needed for testing, and real-world testing has not yet been completed.

Currently ordered for testing:

• pH meter and EC meter

• Air pump with air stone (creates small bubbles to oxygenate the water)

• Rockwool growing cubes

• A & B nutrient solution

• pH Up and pH Down solutions (BIOBIZZ)

• 5 ml and 20 ml syringes (for accurate nutrient dosing)

• Seeds: mint, lemongrass, and lettuce

Most of the equipment is no-name / budget hardware, as I wanted to start testing without investing in expensive branded components. With proper selection, good-quality parts can also be sourced from places like AliExpress.

I plan to update this model regularly based on:

• Practical testing results

• Feedback and tips from the community

• Improvements to printability and system performance

Features:

• Modular design (easy to expand or modify)

• Water-efficient hydroponics system

• Suitable for indoor growing

• Optimized for FDM 3D printing

Notes:

• Pump, tubing, and electronics are not included in this upload

• Recommended materials: PLA for prototyping, PETG for long-term use

This is version 1.1, and suggestions or improvements are very welcome.
