Just download, print, and grow!
My goal is to educate and empower the world to grow their own food … one 3d print at a time! With this modular hydroponic system, you can do just that. The modules are interlocking, so it can be expanded and contracted in size super easily. I’m using the system myself and you can view my progress on Instagram @archipelagourbanfarms. Feel free to ask me any questions. I’ll be posting more photos as my garden progresses so be sure to follow!
If you want to start your own farm and don’t feel like printing and/or would like to support my project, buy a starter kit HERE!: http://etsy.me/2CK7xeg

Is this a cut scene from a lost Star Wars movie?
Cause the music is for sure.
Came from Jebs Livestream. Thank you for sharing Alex. Very interesting Project. I think i´ll set it up for Strawberries.
Hi Alex, love your design.
I'm doing a similar project for a school project, a modular grow tower with several upgrades.
I have several questions, should the water from the top of the lid flow down the sides of the walls of the container, or should it drip directly down to the net pods? Also, how large should the drill holes be? Does the pump require a timer and how many modules can be stacked together? Is an air pump with an air stone required?
Thanks for any help, new to hydroponics and really want to try this out.
Hello Alex, could you please explain how the roots are getting water if the whole tower is hollow inside? I see water entering at the top and then… what happens exactly? The drilled holes are spreading the water to flow on the walls inside? How do plants catch this water? I'm new to hydroponics and utterly confused by this method.
I have a 3D printer and considering trying this out.
great design – like the twist lock mechanism.
How long did each level take to print ?
What printer ?
Approx how much per level $
And what size net cup ?
Thanks in advance
Geoff
