When you can pass3DWhy spend time digging soil when you’re growing vegetables with printed hydroponics?
Using3Dprinting technology,DIYHobbyists can now design and produce custom parts such as plant stands, trays, irrigation emitters and connectors. These3DPrinted components allow for greater efficiency, customization and creativity in hydroponic arrangements. Not to mention they’re fun to build too!
1、Micro vegetable planter

Many people grow microgreens at home because they are easy to grow, nutritious, space-saving, and versatile. Whether you’re a health-conscious person, a cooking enthusiast, or an avid gardener, microgreens offer a quick and satisfying way to grow healthy greens at home.
This planter mockup combines a delightful printing and gardening experience in one! The easy-to-print tray holds water, while grid inserts accommodate seedlings while providing plenty of room for roots to penetrate the reservoir. Adding water from the top or sides of the rack makes it easier to fill the reservoir.
2、catnip water tank cover
With a quick print and a few parts, you can grow cat food (source:Dr3d via Instructables）
Growing indoor cat grass has many benefits, including improving their physical and mental health and providing indoor cats with a safe and enjoyable experience in nature. Unfortunately, catnip can become expensive and difficult to manage.
This3DThe printed model can be attached to a mason jar, and by adding a few simple aquarium parts, you can be growing catnip in no time. All you need is an aquarium pump, air hose and air stones to get started. The designers will guide you through the construction process step by step, making it easy for you to assemble it on your own.

This next project offers the ultimate in customization for your hydroponic growing space. For the water tank, you can use any of the storage containers available for purchase or the included files to print your own.
The creators of this project have provided options to make this setup as simple or complex as you want. You can choose to use a water pump, air pump, aquarium, or sprayer type system to deliver water to the plant roots. Each method comes with instructions and energy consumption considerations, providing a great starting point for those looking to get started with hydroponics.
The release includes more than six printable parts, including plant stands, for those who want a system that fits their unique space and has plenty of room to test what works best.
4、Hydroponic Modular Tower

when you think3DWhen printing hydroponic plants, you might think of a build like this. Although this version is a little intimidating, the detailed instructions make it easy to stay on track.
The project consists of stackable modules that can accommodate three plants each, as well as a large barrel that serves as a water reservoir. In large columns, water is pumped and sprayed downward, providing plant roots with a continuous supply of running water.
5、Hydroponic space farm
