Floating raft Hydroponic pod

prusaprinters

<p>This is a single net pot pod that will float on water, the same way a raft system does, however this can be used on its own as a basket for floating plants in, or rafted together using 8mm magnets (optional, can also be glued together if required) There are 2 versions: Version A has an open float to allow for foam to be added, Version B has a closed float but may not be as reliable. Both pods measure 112mm across the float.</p><p>Fill the net pot with hydroponic media, the lighter the better in this case, (I recomend expanded clay pellets) and float in a body of water deeper than the pot. I recomend adding some closed cell foam to the under side on the float of version A to ensure it remains floating, reused packaging is ideal.</p><p>Printed with no supports on speed setting. For version B choose an infil that will create a large area of air inside, and a low %. 5% should be enough. Increase the layers to 4 or 5 to decrease the chance of water seeping inside.</p><p>Just slot the base in place once printed. A few dots of glue are recomended to secure it in.</p>
