UPDATE March 19 2023:
My original project simply featured a fish tank water pump and Air pump which were manually turned off and on every day, since then I have created a box to hold the water pump, air pump as well as a micro-controller to automate the daily switching on and off of the pumps. These newly added 3D files are the:
Please note that these files are not needed if you plan to run the hydroponics on a simple fish tank water and air pump, you'll only need to print these if you want to automate the care of your hydroponics. Info on the hardware I used and my code can be found in the link below (if this link doesn't work try a different browser, I have had reports that it doesn't work on Brave but should work on Firefox, Edge or Chrome)
A fairly basic and modular indoor hydroponics setup using standard 5cm PVC piping, tubing, and some 3D printed parts. Currently, its powered by a simple pump on a timer, hoping to add IoT controls soon.
