Yeah, I was surprised too. I started out because I thought it might be rewarding to grow with my own build system, and then step by step, it evolved. Thanks for your very kind comment!
Oh -- nice. Picked up my first 2x2 last year this time and this year I just upgraded to a 4x4x6.6 and I've got a new k2 plus sitting on the table flanked by a couple small printers. I'll be printing some equipment for them for sure.
Hey Jean, I'm glad you asked. I added a floating switch to the humidifier. The humidifier consists of a small water reservoir inside the tent, just big enough for the floating switch and the cotton sticks of the two sonic discs. When the humidifier has evaporated enough water for the water level to drop, a small 12V pump will start to pump water into the reservoir. You can see a cross-section of the design on Thingiverse where I uploaded it: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6397535 I guess that will answer your question. This is my Humidifier 2.0. Since there's only a little bit of water inside the tent and it's well encapsulated, it will stay good for a very long time. If you print it in black PLA, it's even better protected against UV light from a lamp inside a grow tent for plants. That was the main reason why I changed the design. For plant tents, it's very important to have the big water reservoir outside in the dark. As for water, I use Brita-filtered rainwater since it is naturally calcium-free, and this reduces the need for maintenance drastically. I am very happy with this system. It requires no maintenance for a very long time. And since I used two sonic discs, even if one fails, the tent environment will always be ensured by the second one. What are you planning to grow? Feel free to share your plans! Happy growing!
Whoopsy Daisy! You are correct, and I added the missing .stl file to Thingiverse! Happy printing and lots of fun with the humidifier! Please note that I tested these boards for over two years in a humid environment without any issues. This design is well encapsulated, so even with UV light, the upkeep is very low. In fact, my maintenance is nearly nonexistent since I started using stale rainwater that I additionally filter with a standard Brita water filter!
Oh wow, I didnt expect all this when I clicked the link. Color me impressed.

Really awesome. I have to purchase a 3D printer....
The 3d printed stuff just puts the icing on the cake

Hi, I've been a long time lurker on your channel. I've always wondered how you filled your humidifier? How do you make sure your water is contam free?

Hi. This is very useful humidyfier. But I couldn't find the stl file for cover of Gehause in thingiverse.😪
