Float Valve Remix: Food Rising: Mini-Farm Grow Box

thingiverse

This is a remix of the float valve created by Mike Adams for his mini-farm grow box. His original design is posted at www.foodrising.org For instructions on how to assemble and use this float valve, please visit www.foodrising.org and watch Mike Adam's videos. After printing the original, I noticed that I was having difficulty sourcing a small pill bottle with a 47 mm cap. To remedy this, I created a modified receiver that accepts a 40 mm cap which I am finding easier to source. Additionally, the hole in the original design for accepting a pencil eraser was 7.75 mm in diameter, however, all of the #2 pencils (in Canada anyway) are 7 mm in diameter. I corrected this.
