Please not the image in the picture is not the best quality bed finish due to bad model contact to the bed. I edited the Z placement to “9” alleviate that issue (hopefully.) Note you will need screws for final assembly. Up to 18 M3 X 6mm screws and respective bolts.

I have plans to print another grow tower kit so will update and edit post when i get a chance with photos.

when using Bambu PETG Basic Combine the file with my custom filament and print profiles for best results from my testing found at

@garbia

is this also short few mm to fit an 5 gallon bucket?

The designer has replied

@punkrockbenwils

it fits any 5 gallon bucket I have used it on. I use Home Depot buckets or basic utility buckets from the hardware store

https://www.printables.com/model/280236-5-gallon-adapter-for-modular-hydroponic-tower this guy made a remix because when printing with PETG (Like me) it didn't fit and the original design is the same from where you posted.

printed in ABS no problems. a lot of screws but as a mounted the tower on it I understand why. keeps it nice and sturdy

I created one of these last year with only two walls and the print failed about halfway through the summer. so I increased the wall thickness to four walls to see if this will improve the strength.

Strength Issue:seems to have a weird shift that causes bad later adhesion a few mm from the print bed

@punkrockbenwils

really?! I haven’t experienced any issues or heard anything. sounds like it might be a problem isolated to just you. I have printed half a dozen and they have all been great.
