Modular Hydroponic Tower - 2 Gallon reservoir support

thingiverse

This remix incorporates modifications from the original modular adapter found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3405964. For my tower project, a 2-gallon bucket and lid are planned for use as the reservoir. However, the available lid is somewhat flexible under the weight of the tower, causing it to sag or wobble. To address this issue, I made some quick adjustments to the adapter in Tinkercad, creating a support structure that extends from the lid down to the bucket's bottom for added stability. The modified adapter consists of two components. The first is the actual modular adapter inserted into the bucket lid, featuring legs that extend downward and rest within a lip on the second part. Upon printing, they remained connected solely through friction; if necessary, however, they can be secured together with super glue.
