I've used A1 Mini with:

• 0.6mm nozzle (so it's faster)
• 0.24 - 0.3mm layer height
• 5-7 walls - as you think, depends on which parts, the thicker it will be the more stable it should be for bending, but also heavier so try to balance it

External parts

Screws

All screws are M5. Some parts of ladder which have thicker spacers demands atleast 25mm of length, so I'd advice you to buy some M5 30mm

But how many? 

Depends on the amount of ladders you'll put, and it depends how you set it up - just take a look at image and count how many you'll need depending on how tall it's gonna be, mine uses 32x M5x30mm

Tank

Well, if you're from Poland there's link where I bought it https://allegro.pl/oferta/terdens-sloik-pojemnik-plastikowy-na-ogorki-3-l-15693605824

I guess you'll find it on amazon / allie too, or just find something what will fit the main screw of my design which is around 123mm (+ screw)

Important

1. Make sure that these screws which will (or may) have contact with water (in my case 9 of them) are nylon screws - these are made of plastic and will never rust and potentially poison your plants
2. Ladder should be made form PETG as it's more elastic and should be able to handle more stress - in my case I lifted it multiple times and sharked with total of 3.9 KG

What do I print and how to assamble?

Well, I've never worked at IKEA, so you have to enjoy this picture

The amount of ladders you'll print depends on you, these which I showed seems like maximum, but who knows ;)
