Aeroponic Tower Shells

thingiverse

This is a remix for adding some shelving to the aeroponic grow tower. It can be used for extra plant support or additional lighting when growing indoors. LED grow strip lights can be added inside the inner diameter of the ring, or vertical grow lights can be secured to the inside of multiple rings using simple cable ties (or design your own clip-on mount for extra security). This works particularly well for attaching T8 LED Bulbs. Depending on your intended use and overall weight consideration, you may need multiple shelves. Always balance the overall weight you add to each ring to ensure your tower doesn't tip over! This is especially true when attaching vertical LED lights; place these closer to the support arms. Due to the fact that heat can harm the structural integrity of your aeroponic tower, lower-heat polymers like PLA should not be used near electrical equipment. Use common sense and don't hurt yourself by attaching additional electrical equipment to these towers in an unsafe environment or one that will become unsafe due to degradation in structural integrity caused by exposure to heat outside. Change Log: 7/9/2020: v6: Resized the base connector to better attach to the tower. 7/16/2020: v7: Recreated the ring components to be M3 Screw based, increased thickness for better stability.
