project_16_balconera80

For all those who have taken a hydroponic path on the dark side (soil cannot be controlled) or as a cover against water.

It consists of 5 parts.
Part 1,2,3,5 no support
Part 4 with support (organic)

Prints part 1,2,5 with the top side on the print bed 

I would sand the "L" joints of Part 1,2 slightly so that they are easier to insert.
It can hold at least 2kg per plant. If this is not enough, you can glue part 1 and part 2. 
Alternatively, I might add a support. Depends on your comments and experience ;)
Part 5 is necessary because when the water level is high, the balconera expands in the middle and lets light through into the water. (If light shines on the water, algae form).

The holes are exactly 95mm in diameter (slightly rounded).
So that an 11cm growpot from elho fits in (and protrudes slightly).
I modified the pot with an old soldering iron. Larger cut-outs for the roots

can be found here:

or in a local hardware store

When installing, lift up the handles once and then insert part 1 and part 2.
I would remove the cover at the water level (the transparent tube at the top with the "min" and "max" labels).

Printed in Petg black so that it is lightproof. (Other colors let light through)
Top 4 layers.
Bottom 4 layers.
vertical contours or wall thickness 3 layers
25% infill.

Printed with Sunlu PETG black on my Qidi Xmax 3

It's version 1 so I'm open for suggestions ;)
