3D printer slicing software has a setting to change how many layers are printed on the perimeter. This determines outer wall thickness. By default 2 layers is typical. This is fine for the strength needed, but will allow a lot of light through. I suggest increasing the perimeter layers to 4. This cuts out heaps of the light. Do a trial on a couple of parts and hold a torch behind it and you will see what I mean.

The one you link to has an inner diameter of 107 mm. I was thinking I could go with 65 mm and 130 mm respectively but haven't found any good info on diameter vs. root size.

@TheSmuey
@TheSmuey 3 года назад
Awesome stuff! I do have a two concerns though: PLA might be called 'food safe', but the pigments in most brands certainly are not. Also, keep in mind that PLA (basically a compound made from lactic acid) will leech some of the lasctic acid into the system over time. The second concern I have is with the technique of 3D printing itself. All things printed with an FDM printer have layer lines, small grooves, in the final product. This would be a perfect place for bacteria to grow over time, making things less than desirable. PETG would be a good medium to counter the first problem (as it's besically the same material plastic bottles for soda are made from) but the second issue remains. I would opt for a treatment in a food safe coating to smooth everything out and properly seal everything before putting it to long-term use.
@glennwatson8826
@glennwatson8826 2 года назад
Michael, since it is modular couldn't you simply disassemble and clean it between growing cycles to eliminate the bacteria problem? I am thinking of making this and I appreciate your concerns, and I agree PETG is the way to go for material. So wouldn't a regular washing (throw it in the dishwasher every 3 months or so) alleviate this issue?
@TheSmuey
@TheSmuey 2 года назад
@@glennwatson8826 yeah, for cleaning you could do that, just clean it regularly (that goes for PETG as weel, by the way). But that doesn't solve the issue of unwanted chemicals leeching from PLA. PETG would be a lot better choice.
@LordKorKor
@LordKorKor 2 года назад
Even PETG isn't foof safe because of all the microgaps that can harbor bacteria, 3D printed parts are impossible to sterilize. But I was thinking why not just inoculate the 3d printed parts in the hydroponic system with beneficial bacteria? Realistically they should take up all the room that might be used by harmful bacteria plus you get the benefits of helpful bacteria.

I have had this for several years. Original design is on Thingiverse with lots of mods. It is ok for small plants like lettuce, Batchoy, etc. does have some issue with algae growing at the top and clogging the holes. water splashing out of the holes where the plant goes, Net pots falling out when the plant gets bigger (I glued a retainer on the sides to help clip in the pot. ). Because light goes right through the plastic Algae can grow in the entire structure. Good idea but needs a bit more refinement IMO . I made mine with PETG so they will last for years . PLA will probably last a few years.
