Hydroponics grow tower for 100mm Pipe (100er HT Rohr)

thingiverse

I made this to fit in a normal 100 HT Pipe, which is common in germany and around Europe. Mark the correct spots for the plant pots and use a saw to cut in the slots. Then heat up the area with a heatgun and push in a glass bottle in the correct size. I recommend to first lay down some baking paper on the heated plastic to make the bottle slide in more easily and to get a nicer surface. Print out the parts and use silicone to glue the funnel into the pipe. Seal properly! You will need an additional water container with a pump and some hose to connect everything. All parts use a G 3/4 - 14 thread. - Common for garden hose systems like Gardena. Instead of printing the Outlet Connector, you can also buy one made out of brass at your local gardening supply store for extra stability. There are 2 Breakout connectors: Straight- can be mounted on a flat surface - for example on the water container as an inlet or outlet. Curved - can be mounted on the 100mm pipe as seen on the picture. The Nut is the same for all of them. Also the Outlet Connector can be used with them to directly connect a hose. The Dripper part fits tightly into the top of the Part and can be equippedwith the regulator part. That way you can use only the 3mm dripp holes, 6mm drip holes or remove the regulator and use 3mm+6mm holes to regulate the water flow. I used Pipe Isolation as planting pots with an approx diameter of 50mm and some Rockwool inside. If you do so, you will need to add a small pipe like I did in the upper most pot to let the air out, outherwhise water will drip out of the sides of your pots, when the pump is running, because it is all air sealed. Read the Print Settings! If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I would love to see some pics of your builds! Have fun and happy growing!
