Greenhouse Dome (clickable) (Treibhausdom für Kräuter und Pflanzen - zusammensteckbar) Your seeds, seedlings, and plants need a warm environment? Based on two Mini-dome parts hexa and penta from obijuan, I created a Greenhouse-Dome and other parts. With these parts, you can build a full (small) greenhouse dome! All you need is a piece of PVC foil and a 3D printer. Even the connecting pieces can be printed if desired or simply use wooden sticks. And the whole Greenhouse Dome can be plugged together! New parts allow for now a Greenhouse-Dome with any height! For my greenhouse as in the picture above (the small white-green dome), you need the following parts + a pvc-foil: 20x hexa (P-01) 6x penta (P-02) 40x A-Connector (P-03) or use 8 cm pvc-sticks 55x B-Connector (P-04) or use 9 cm pvc-sticks 10x hexa_V-Teil_fuer_Folie_V2 (P-30) 7x Folienklemme_schraeg_V2 (P-32) 3x Folienklemme_mit_Bodenanker_lang_schraeg_V2 (P-33) as ground anchor +NEW: 10x Folienklemme (P-40) Diameter: ca. 27-32 cm Height: ca. 26 cm Note: The big white dome in the photos uses some of the new parts (see below the update from 22.05.2016). You can find here also many other parts to download. For example, parts for a lower Greenhouse-Dome (3 level instead of 4-level high). Or a Dome-structure without foil. Or a garden house with individual height. How the whole dome is put together, you can see here (2V/L2 Icosahedron Dome). You'll find there also a calculator for own stick length if you want to build domes with different diameters: https://simplydifferently.org/Geodesic_Dome_Notes?page=3#2V/L2 Advice: I noticed that the wooden sticks are not ideal for this project. However, I recommend using them anyway. Objectives: The children and students learn about the origin of food products but also about healthy eating organic farming construction of objects and dealing with 3D technologies. Audiences: Children in kindergarten will delight at seeing vegetables and fruits grow just like older students who can delve deeper into various subject areas of dome design 3D printing ecology and planting etc. Lesson/Activity: In this project very little material is needed to learn many things. A 3D printer PVC-foil seedlings or seeds soil water and sunlight. Whether only a small Greenhouse Dome is built on a flower pot in the classroom each child/student makes their own Greenhouse Dome for their home or a XXL dome is designed for the school garden the use in the teaching area is as flexible as the dome itself. Older students can improve existing parts and develop further dome parts. For example in the direction of my Mini Greenhouse Dome with Pot and Sign (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1512115) or a XXL Greenhouse Dome with entrance / door and ventilation etc. (When students develop my dome parts via this challenge #MakerEdChallenge2 and publish their new parts developments and insights for free under a free license such as Creative Commons Open Source I will share my parts as well under a license such as CC BY-SA 3.0.)
