Hydroponic tower adapter for 4" pvc pipe
thingiverse
This is an adapter to use on a 4" pvc pipe so that you can make a hydroponic tower STL FOUND HERE: https://cults3d.com/:1131900 I've built a few hydroponic systems over the years and even 3D printed one last year that worked out great but the print time was 16 hours for 3 plants! Yikes! So I came up with this design that could be built very quickly and all the parts for 22 plants can be printed in less than 40 hours! The STL files include a bracket that snap fits into a 2" hole on the 4" pvc pipe and a 1" net cup that fits into the snap fit bracket. Here's a YouTube video of the snap fit: https://youtube.com/shorts/OpfsnbmXCJk?feature=share If you don't want to go solar you can get this power supply cord for the pump. Just needs an outside plug in.

The charge controller for the solar panel and timer for the pump will be uploaded separately as that alone was a BIG project. (Arduino)
