The file 'Modular Hydroponic Tower Garden 3D Printer Model' is (scad,stl,SLDPRT,STL) file type, size is 4.4MB.
This is a modular low pressure aeroponic/hydroponic garden tower inspired by:

In order to avoid printing all components of the system I have designed parts around components that were available in the construction market, namely:
The 3D Printed parts are:
I have covered the entire tower with aluminium foil in order to reflect any sun from the plastic to avoid heating up the system and to avoid light from entering through the while pot (I should have chosen a black pot instead). If you do not do this your system will be much more susceptible to alge and potentially also root rot. The roots should not see any light at all and the temperature should remain under control with ideally temperatures somewhere between 18 - 22degC.
Electronics:
Simple purpose built electronics to operate the pump on a schedule using:
Given the possibility to connect by WIFI through ESP8266 i have used the Blynk IoT cloud platform to be able to remote control the pump, making and cycle time programmable through the app.
