Hydrophonics kitchen farm

2025-06-07: Added printable Humidity cups as a new print profile. Print using a transparent neutral PLA.

 

Grow fresh herbs, vegetables, or decorative plants year-round with this compact, modular hydroponics indoor garden system. Designed for easy 3D printing and home assembly, this setup is perfect for indoor environments with limited space

 

• LED Plant Light Compatible: Designed to accommodate an optional LED grow light to support healthy plant growth even in low-light conditions.
• Modular Frame Options: Choose between fully 3D printed extendable bars or standard 16 mm aluminium bars for enhanced durability and customization.
• Artificial Soil System: Uses artificial or soilless growing media, making it clean and low-maintenance while promoting root aeration and optimal water retention.

Note: The prototype has been printed in PLA Matte for ease and appearance. However, due to limited testing time, the long-term durability—especially under continuous exposure to LED grow lights—is still uncertain. For higher heat resistance and improved longevity, PETG is perhaps an better alternative as printing material.
