Hydroponic NFT Downspout Brackets

thingiverse

I'm building my first outdoor hydroponic system, and I need mounts for the channels made from plastic downspouts. To make things easier, I created a quick release version for easy removal of the channel, along with a solid version for a more permanent mount. The quick release feels sturdy enough, but I'll update after some growing time to see how it holds up.

If you know if other plastic downspouts differ, please post in the comments. For my hydroponic system, I'm using 2" net pots from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:240034.
