Hydroponic Window Planter

thingiverse

This was a senior project I designed, it's an NFT planter that should fit in most window cills. It runs off a USB pump and can be powered through the wall, with a battery bank, or even with a solar panel. You can use any hydroponic solution however a very cheap and effective one has been 1 gallon of tap water mixed with a tablespoon of organic unsulphured blackstrap molasses. you can store the extra solution in a cupboard or cabinet, the solution should be changed weekly. Print with at least 3 inner walls and iron the top portions of the print to ensure the reservoir and upper piece is sealed. IF the part is still leaking an easy way to seal it is to use wax or coconut oil. Here is the link to the pump I used: https://www.amazon.com/Driew-Submersible-Brushless-Waterproof-Aquarium/dp/B071DW31G3/ref=sxin_13_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?cv_ct_cx=aquarium+pump+usb&dchild=1&keywords=aqaurium+pump+usb&pd_rd_i=B071DW31G3&pd_rd_r=f64d4a50-6b15-4e8f-b68a-ad8d43b48353&pd_rd_w=eR8pu&pd_rd_wg=PBc4L&pf_rd_p=51acd426-85cf-466c-86ba-e30541e5c5b5&pf_rd_r=28FXZ2GR76WZAF51SH52&qid=1633024972&sr=1-3-a73d1c8c-2fd2-4f19-aa41-2df022bcb241-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFOUUw3NzhNVEw3WlImZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA3MjI2NzkyTUtNRFRaSFVFMU9WJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwMDcxMTkyTlg3WlpVVFlOWVpaJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3Bfc2VhcmNoX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
