Flexible Indoor Plant Incubator

I designed a versatile indoor plant incubator utilizing 3D printing, 12x12 mm wooden slats and a 6mm MDF plate in conjunction with an E27 plant incubator lamp and standard E27 socket. To create this adaptable incubator, I employed 3D printing to fabricate the corners which allowed for easy assembly of the wooden components and facilitated the insertion of the wooden slats. The flexibility of this design enables users to effortlessly adjust the height by inserting wooden slats of varying lengths. This project includes the 3D print files, and I fabricated the wooden parts using the following specifications; however, you can tailor them to your specific needs. It is essential to note that if you create an excessively tall or oversized structure, it may become unstable, requiring additional support for the corner slats. Nevertheless, my design was stable enough for its intended use. A 6mm MDF plate, measuring 1200x800 mm, served as a single base unit. The top and bottom plates measured 450x450 mm each. A 35mm diameter hole was drilled into the center of the top plate using a holesaw. The bottom sides consisted of two pieces measuring 450x80 mm and two pieces measuring 462x80 mm. The top sides comprised two pieces measuring 450x150 mm and two pieces measuring 462x150 mm. Wooden slats, 12x12 mm in size, were used for the corners; four pieces, each 700 mm long, were utilized. The assembled structure was secured using three 12mm wood screws.
