Intro
-----
This is a modified version of [boundarycondition's Modular Hydroponic Tower Garden](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3405964) and some features of [ghoofman's Smart IoT Modular Hydroponic Tower Garden](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4319940).
I finally decided to upload my remix of boundarycondition's Modular Hydroponic Tower Garden. I initially just planned to do a make, but soon I decided to invest some time and modify the project to suit my needs and capabilities.
What I intended was:
* I wanted to utilize the space as much as possible and this meant that I needed a tower at least 6 feet tall. Thus, the base of the tower had to be extra stable to support the weight of the tower. I might have overengineered the base to make it extra stiff, but it worked!
* I have a Prusa MINI+, which has a fairly small bed (180mmx180mm). This somewhat complicated things.
* Due to the weather I live in, I needed to place the tower indoors. This required the use of grow lights. I couldn't find a grow light holder that fit my print bed and could, in the future, be extended further outward as the plants grow.
* Finally, the project had to be modular and easily upgradeable.
Thankfully, I have decent experience with Solidworks. Thus, I downloaded the STEP files from the two aforementioned projects and modified a few parts. The pot lid and the LED supports were entirely my creation.
I'll provide a link to the [STEP…
