Description

I added hose guides to @archipelagourbanfarms Modular Hydroponic system.

Main Module:
The original module was quite loose when connected to another module. I tightened up the locking mechanism. There are two versions, one tighter than the other. They will no longer slip out of place without an intentional amount of rotational force being applied.
A hose guide was also added to the modules. These guides allows a hose to be run up in the interior of the modules and helps distribute the water evenly over the baskets.

V4 - increased the diameter of the water distributor to get more water over the pots

Lid:
A guide was added to the top lid to hold the hose with a 1/2" FPT hose fitting that can be purchased at most hardware stores. Simply screw it in and your hose will hang in the correct position. The lid is printed in two parts.
Module with hose guide V2 has a dome plate to help move water over the baskets.

If you want to print an FPT hose fitting here is a good thingy.:

Vase Base:
The vase base was also corrected and tightened. The original model was no where close to being the correct size. The vase lid is the same size but the locking mechanism was corrected and tightened.

Bulkhead Base:
For those not wanting to be limited by the original base I created a bulkhead fitting that can be used on any bucket or lid. Simply cut a hole of appropriate size in the lid of a bucket or what ever reservoir you decide to use. Personally I am making a wood lid for a flower pot I have that I will screw this to.

V2: Added louvers to block light from getting to the holding tank. This will reduce algae growth. It also has a sound dampening effect.
