Tower Shells Hydroponic Tower Garden (3&4 Way Planting)

prusaprinters

This is remix for adding some shelving for the aeroponic grow tower. It can be used for additional plant support, or for support of additional lighting when growing indoors.The original support was for 3 way planting, now you can use it in 4 way planting modules.3 Way PlantingJust print the supports with no holes in the middle and mount them.4 Way PlantingPrint 2x rings with holes in the middle and 4x with no holes in the middle. Then mount them so the wholes stay in oposite sides.ConstructionAttach each arm to the grow module; insert the m3x16 screws through the washer (from the bottom) and into a nylock hex nut on top.Assemble 3 sets of 2 ring components together using 2x M3x12 and 2x Nylock Hex nuts per pair. Attach each pair together onto the arm components; for each arm, use 2x M3x12 screws through the arm, then the thicker ring component, then through the thinner strip of an additional arm. Secure both screws with 2x Nylock hex nuts.While it is possible to print fewer arms than the full shell, I wouldn't recommend it, as it decreases overall stability of the ring and unnecessarily causes instability.
