Although, I used it only for modeling until now, I am totally satisfied with it. It is a great software to design any 3D model to print, but it has many other features too (e.g. Although they are not professional plans, I will show and introduce them shortly below. I made a draft on paper for both versions. It will be much easier to design it with a CAD software based on the draft. It doesn’t matter if the scale factors are not so precise, the goal is to know what you need exactly at the end. This way you don’t have to measure and calculate during design phase again and again. Measure all the necessary sizes and record them on the paper. The original plan that requires these components, the automated watering system is not done yet but I’m sure that I will introduce it in another post as soon as I finish it.įor me it always helps to create a draft on paper before I start to design anything. But the creation steps are similar for both ideas. My second idea has more possibilities and is easier to create and control, so I describe it in details after that. I also made a video for that, which contains a step-by-step guide. Since my first idea has some limitations and is not so cheap, I will introduce it in short first. Besides the micro servo I don’t need any special component, only a 3D printer. Above of that it is cheap, easy to control and makes able to provide multiple outputs with only one servo. It could rotate a 3D printed shape, that allows to flow the water in one direction only, and blocks other outputs. Idea 2: My second idea (2nd image) was to use a small micro servo. But if you need to have only a few outputs (2 or 3), it might be a good choice. Although it worked and looked much more scientific, but had some limitations and was not so cheap if I wanted to have many outputs. Idea 1: My first idea (1st image) was to use a small magnet, and move it with electromagnets. Somehow I have to make free only one path of the water, and block all the others, so I need something that is electrically movable. If more plants need water at the same time, others can wait some seconds :). This way I will be able to select a plant (that actually needs water), and watering only that one. It makes able to control the path of the water, by electrically selecting one output from many, on that the water will go out. I need a device (or more), that has one input on that the water comes in, and as many outputs as many plant pots I have.
