Hello Great video. I have no plans to do anything with hydroponics but i loved watching the video as it has 3D printing in it. I love to see how different people are using 3D printing to their needs. Fantastic. Happy Christmas

Yes, should definitely include more cats. But it's also nice to be able to finish a build for once without the kittens stealing half of my tools and stuff :D
Nice!! Be careful when you use a filter, if i clogs you will have water comming out of the system. I have made a few watering systems and my experience is to avoid filters. Either you will have water everyware or the system will stop flowing and the plants dry.
That might work. Someone also suggested to make two parts out of the water tank. Water would flow into one tank. Then overflow into the other. Particles should stay in the first part and the pump can be in the other.
This is even cooler than the first version. I would cut the basil to have it wider and not so tall. Cutting the top produce side shoots. You also can use those side shoots as new plants.

If you are having difficulty with algae, you may need to print covers for the open holes so that you're not getting any light exposure to the water itself.
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.
a cheaper and easier to find alternative to epoxi is fish safe silicone. just paint it on and let it cure for at least 24 hours. although PLA is waterproof, so its not really needed. while its technicaly biodegradable, it needs the right temps and bacteria to do it, it doesnt just break down in landfill like a carrot would. People have done experiments where they left pla test prints out in their gardens for 2 years and its still as good as the day it was printed. im tempted to have a go at this one though.
Yes, I have just recently learned that fact about the bio degradability and what that means. Was quite surprised by that. Thank you for the hint with the silicone. Haven’t thought of that, yet.
I was wondering how safe it would be to grow plants in something coated with epoxy as well. I'm guessing the fish safe silicone would alleviate that worry.
Nice job! So if I understand you right, your pump is always running? What about a smaller angle about 2% and at the end a bell siphon, so that the roots can floate some time and all the water is exchanged by time. Maybe you could simplify your design, no channels instead only a bowl with a inclined plane to one corner in which you place the bell siphon. The cover could be the same.
@@matoumakes I was thinking 3d printed. I was also thinking the foam would create a seal which is also good to keep the system closed and prevent more evaporation etc. 🤔
Great design, if you find your plant roots are getting too much water you can set up a timer on the pump to stop the flow, eg 5 mins off and 10 minutes on.
Thank you 😃 The system's great for the intended purpose: I tend to forget to water my plants; after two months they are still alive with me only occasionally checking the water level 😄 And it's a great idea to also list the my equipment. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll put it in the video description.
super nice project. I built similar ones 😁 try an ebb and flow system. Pay attention to dry phases. When the pump switches off, the water from the plants is returned to the tank by the pump. Due to the high water level, you have good fertilization. it would be great if the water tank would close tightly with the construction, but that is what I failed. I wish you success.
@@matoumakes I thought it would be useful if the water tank was tight for transport to the wash basin for cleaning. ..perhaps a sealing lip made of tpu. this can be printed at the same temperature as petg. and create a contact pressure with screws. 🤷
I like that you made the design simpler. Also the mini-NFT system with the tilted platform is clever. Nice work! The only problem could be that there isn’t much space for the roots to grow? The roots can only go in the top water-channel area right? They can’t reach into the tank where there is more space?
Thanks :) Yes, the roots grow in the channel and indeed you are right. I currently have only half of the holes filled with plants because otherwise there wouldn't be enough space.
It works better than I expected. Only minimal maintenance (as in: I add water and nutrients every now and then) is necessary. It doesn't even clog at all. Of course it should also be cleaned sometimes.
@Andrew Kay Heyhey. I currently had to take the system apart and stop using it because I recently moved to a new place. So far I hadn’t have the chance to start using it again. I might not be able to make an update in the near future. Sorry.
I don’t know how bad it actually is. However, I have since switched to using food-safe epoxy. I think it’s definitely smarter this way. The other advantage is that the food-safe epoxy that I have doesn’t smell like the other one.
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
That’s a good question. I currently don’t have anything to measure that. The pump takes about 2W. I would expect the WiFi power plug to use less than that. So probably the consumption increased a bit.
I really like the simplicity of this design. Do you get root rot with this setup? I designed a larger system using drain pipes but I couldn't stop the rot!

3D Printing is so much easier when you watch someone else do it. On RUclips it's just "BING!" and a 3D printed planter appears. In the real world however that planter probably took 20 hours just for the main bit. Add another 8 hours of the lid and so on....
Oh yeah. I think those estimates of yours are pretty accurate :D Obviously, I want bore you with hour-long print videos. But maybe I should add some numbers how long this takes 🤔 What do you think?
Careful with epoxy resins and growing herbs for food. Epoxy resins use BPA as the hardener component of the resin. It's safer for your long term health to print the parts that will need to be water resistant from PETG and just eliminate the need for epoxy resin.
@@matoumakes another tip is you can cut down on having the clean it so often by adding a UV-C LED in the water reservoir.

Sorry, die Idee ist unpraktisch, es wird Vollwurzeln und verstopfen 😅. Du könntest auch mit einer Aquariumpumpe Luft in einen Eimer pumpen und oben mit den Deckel die Pflanzen rauf packen. Das ist noch leichter zu reinigen und es wächst nichts zu.
Möglich, dass es irgendwann zu viele Wurzeln werden. Stimmt. Bisher funktioniert es noch gut. So ein System mit Luft-Pumpe hatte ich auch schon überlegt auszuprobieren.
Moosgummi war einfacher zu bekommen als Steinwolle. PLA ist leichter zu drucken und hatte ich gerade da. Filter vor der Pumpe wäre 'ne Möglichkeit die ich mal ausprobieren könnte.
I think it depends on the amount of oxygen in the water. I was hoping that the dripping back into the tank and the pumping up would introduce sufficient air so that it wouldn’t be a problem.
I'm going to guess that there was never an update video on this because it didn't work. Plants have roots. They need a lot more space than you gave them. You barely gave enough space for one plant's roots in that channel, and you stuffed 8 in there.
Great video, just a question. Will the epoxy chemicals Leech into the water and eventually the plants and food?

Möglich, dass es irgendwann zu viele Wurzeln werden. Stimmt. Bisher funktioniert es noch gut. So ein System mit Luft-Pumpe hatte ich auch schon überlegt auszuprobieren.
😍❤👍
cat safety is my number 1 priority. JK
Good news for my w... Eh... Tomatos!!
😅
ebb & flow if I remember correctly .... not flood & drain
I believe both terms are being used.
You switched from ebb and flo to NFT
Jep. It's easier to maintain.
@@matoumakes you could add a bubbler to oxygen water a bit, will help growth
@@surronzak8154 I thought about doing that but decided against it, hoping that the water falling back down into the tank would add sufficient oxygen.
@@matoumakes There are some venturi water pump outlet you can put on your pump, this way you oxygenate the water wihout a bubbler .
Ah I didn’t know that. Thank you!
Nft go wrong need backup power source
I guess you're right. Some kind of backup would be called for.
Maybe I should add a battery-powered sensor that alerts me if the water stops flowing.
i keep getting visions of a marble machine if anyone knows what i mean .. subliminal music it is
Anstatt Gummiband Steinwolle, , anstatt PLA - PETG , und Filter einfach vor der Pumpe machen , sonst läuft es über.
Sonst ist nicht schlecht
Moosgummi war einfacher zu bekommen als Steinwolle. PLA ist leichter zu drucken und hatte ich gerade da.
Filter vor der Pumpe wäre 'ne Möglichkeit die ich mal ausprobieren könnte.
plants dont like constant water cept lettace, onions ect.
I think it depends on the amount of oxygen in the water.
I was hoping that the dripping back into the tank and the pumping up would introduce sufficient air so that it wouldn’t be a problem.
@@matoumakes maybe that was my issue, you should update how its going in a few months.
The tank volume is too small. It will be very difficult to control the EC and PH levels in it.
That’s a good point. I’m currently thinking about a bigger system. Good to know to keep that in mind
Print in PETG.
epoxy is not really food grade soo you could get poisoned
there's no need to 3d print this!
I mean. There’s no need for a lot of things. But there’s still a lot to be learned from it.
I think you should buy first aero garden and plant with it and learn to improve your system
Nah. The goal was to build and learn from that.
I agree that I am far away from perfect. 😅
I'm going to guess that there was never an update video on this because it didn't work. Plants have roots. They need a lot more space than you gave them. You barely gave enough space for one plant's roots in that channel, and you stuffed 8 in there.
Hahaha it's sponsored by me . Cringe level 1000
;)
PETG is better.
I know PETG can theoretically handle water better. But I'm not sure that applies to prints like this.
show that you are german without actually showing you are german lol
