3D printed items for grows

[Dr Butane]

This is a 3d printed bell syphon for a flood and drain system you can see it working in my other journal in my signature

You got it all happening

 

[Dr Butane]

This is a print I've just designed that will fit on 20mm electrical conduit and clip onto the vertical poles to hold scrog net and stop tent from sucking in from the inline fan.

the davinci of stoners lol

You are the daVinci I’m

I made another version to keep polls level with each other.
I will add it to the file uploaded.

I will be adding to this post over time.

Happy growing and printing.

Always great to see your innovations

Couple of progress pictures

3D printing is a rabbit hole I’m happy to avoid so I’ll just sit back and enjoy your escapades vicariously

 

[Dr Butane]

Ok it fits now to print the rest and fit them and see if I want to modify the design at all.

Good stuff

2 more sets to do

That’s a great idea for less specialised gardening enthusiasts too.

Just finished printing, the lettering is raised so I just changed the colours as I got to the lettering part

That’s cool as!

Printed an access lid and surround as I won't be able to lift the reservoir lid with the way my set-up will be , this will allow me to test and and nutrients.

That design is tops lol

Chipping away

Came out pretty good

Printing some more aerator holders to stop them floating.
Im going to have 4 aerators in the reservoir and 1 in each SIP and 1 in each of the flood and drain 15 Ltr buckets

 

[Absorber]

Cable bung for pump and fish tank heater to access reservoir

Oh, that's pretty cool. I like the screw together mating to sandwich the container sides.

Yea I had a look on thingivers but none of them screwed together.
So I had to design one ,while I was going I put a template to trace aswell for cutting out (thats the little disc)
Thanks for dropping by

 

[Absorber]

Done
There will also be some aerator lines running through there aswell.

What's the lowest temp filament you can get? & the finest detail? Was a big wish 20 years ago to make wax patterns for lost wax casting.

People use PLA to make molds they cover in slip (pottery term) and keep dipping to build up layers over the print then let it dry them once dry bake it off at 200*c +
I even recall seeing a wax mix filament somewhere .
And as for detail 0.05mm
I just have to reduce tip size and slow print down to maintain very fine details.
Join a couple of 3d printing groups on Facebook and you will see what achievable. They are getting cheaper

Yes Shell casting they dip in different grades of sand in between coats
Should, they added plastic to waxes to make them more machinable
Too old to be buying one now
