Modular Hydroponic Tower - 2 Gallon reservoir support

thingiverse

This is a remix of the modular adapter from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3405964 For my tower I am planning to use a 2 gallon bucket and lid for the reservoir but the lid I have is fairly flexible under the weight of the tower and allows it to sag/wobble. To remedy this I did a quick mod of the adapter in tinkercad to create a support structure that reaches from the lid to the bottom of the bucket to provide stability. There are two parts, the first is the actual modular adapter that is inserted into the bucket lid. It has legs on it that extend down and sit within a lip on the second part. When I printed it they were able to stay together simply with friction, but if needed then they can be super glued together.
