Since the ducting is sitting over a sump, do you think the epoxy on that tray is even necessary? Any water that seeps through the tray will drip back into the sump. For filament, have you tried PETG? It might work better for garden related prints.
I'll add to the chorus here; I had a misbehaving space key, and prior to seeing this video had lifted the keycap but did not know how to pull the switch apart. With this video I was able to fix it, saving me the cost of a Dygma Defy. Thanks, Matou!
Awesome design well done! love it will defs try it only thing I can add is maybe having an overflow to return to reservoir so you don't need the fancy sensor
Changing the motors is the only way to improve this. BLDC and the right control would be ideal for this application. Additionally, you can examine the subject of cable release during an accident and how to make sure cables are always tight for safety reasons. Sensors can also be added to measure the distance to the ground.
I did this on a Roccat Vulcan 80 from brown tactile to Gateron green linear clicky and it was super easy once you get the hang of popping the housing off :)
I really like your project, i was also planning for the same project but for irrigation system. I haven't started the project yet, but if i get some help from you that will be great for me.
Good video! Its not gona work for long as the channels arnt big enough but if the bottom part was just open and just a tank of water and nutrients it would work awesome! Im not picking holes just giving a little advice. Great video
A mini bell siphon, or stand pipe with a small hole at the bottom will ensure your planter floods and drains and can never overflow. For the simple standpipe design you'll still use a timer to allow it to fill then shut off the pump to allow it to drain down the hole at the bottom of the stand pipe. Bell siphons don't require a timer to flood and drain, but they take some fiddling to get them to operate properly.
Thinking of printing my own, but im worried the PLA will gather bacteria overtime, did you end up having to replace the print because the plastic got corroded / infected in some way ?
I have a suggestion. Create an overflow on all 4 sides at the height you want it to 'stop' at. That way if your holes clog, that's backup. Also, you can design a tap for flow control. That way you don't need an on-off controller.
A good friend of mine told me to make something like this after I finish my current project! This is pretty cool I 150% want to take a look at your move logic :)
Uh nice! I’d still love to improve this, but can’t find any time at the moment. In case you write any code, I would be very interested to see how you approach it :)
There has to be an algorithm that does this a bit smoother. How could it be done without breaking it into chunks? I am thinking of this exact problem right now as well. There are curves I believe. I also wonder if you had 4 cables coming from down to up, would it lock the camera into position more rigidly.
Yes there definitely has to be a better algorithm. I think there is so much possible improvement. And 4 additional cables would most likely make it more rigid. Searching for cable robot on RU-vid gives some impressive videos about such machines. But it’s also more complicated and expensive
I think it would work. I thought about using an arduino gcode library. However my goal with this project is also to learn as much as possible by implementing most things myself. But maybe I should start with a library that’s available.
I think I figured it out. I am not sure but I think you need to also calculate for time. Make it so the speed of the motor spins at the speed that gets point a to point b in a specific time. If all 4 points have the same start and stop time then the movement should be smooth.
Does anyone calculate in how much such a pump use over a year? I see so many people use that kind of things on RU-vid for a couple of plants. A pump on a solar panel would make this much more economic viable.
Oh yes! A solar powered system would be awesome. I’m thinking about creating a bigger one powered by solar. The pump is about 2 Watts. So less than a raspberry pi computer.
@@matoumakes If that has to run 24/7 it would cost me €12 a year over here 😅 not much but it’s one of many things. That’s why I ordered solar panels and try to make everything solar powered. Not to be green but for the money 😇
