This is an adapter for the modular hydroponics tower: Modular Hydroponic Tower Garden by chrisebryan that can fit a standard 5 US Gallon bucket.

You need:

  1. 5G-lid (x4)
  2. *5G-lid-lock (x1)
  3. *5G-lid-notch (x1)
  4. 5G-lid-window (x1)
  5. 5G-lid-cap (x1)
  6. Heat inserts/M3/M4 screws (x14)

*The lock and notch models have a different tab alignment. If you accidentally(or intentionally to avoid the notch) print 2 lock and 0 notch models, it will still work as in this video: 

 

My print settings:

  • Elegoo Rapid PETG - White
  • 0.2mm layer height
  • 30% infill (if you have a tall tower, you can go up to 60%. The joints will be tougher to penetrate with more infill.)

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Remix of a remix of a remix.

Changes:

  1. Split the big STL model from the original file manually to create smaller portions that fit on a smaller printer. Minimum build plate size required: 230x230mm.
  2. Modified the model to have the lid-window on the larger piece to reduce different number of pieces.
  3. Added M3 holes which can fit M3/M4 screws and similar sized heat inserts.
