The Hooch AutoSpike Hydroponic System

This hydroponic system allows you to use cheap growers pots over a base with a float valve that wicks through a grow spike.


The link is available in the pinned download and instruction post at the top of the feed.


Enjoy!

i have an Ender 3 V3 and the print size is 220x220x250. I assume I cant print this because the Ender is too small. Any way around this? I'm new to all this so its easy for me to get lost. Advice please.....

Awesome. I can see this very useful for ornamentals. If I have a level spot the RGGS rail set up would be cheaper on a per plant basis.

Drew Wilkens

Excited to try this. Thank you for your content and passion, and for sharing your creations.

Looks fun! I just got my USA Hooch Buckets from Amazon! Also did some freelance work in exchange for a 3d Printer. . . So I will be able to try printing soon!

Hey Dan! I’m in a similar boat and will be printing a scaled down version of this. I am hopeful it could work. I have the same issue with the auto bucket dimensions but I think this design could be more tolerant of scaling.

I’ve been watching you for so long. I’m so happy to be a Patron!

Question about that last pic. Won’t the roots interfere with the float?

Mathis Schmieder

He says in the video that we should every once in a while check and potentially remove any roots that are too close to the float :)

Hey Dan! Just got a slightly scaled down piece (98%) printed and I’m happy to report that it fit a 1/2inch float valve

Hi John, I tried at 95% on the Z axis but printing with PETG has been a nightmare. So I just increased to 98% like you suggested and will try with PLA. Hopefully the cura settings will be kind to me.

Just came here to ask about this.. ive got the slicer happy having it on a giant angle a steep angle. I will give it a print when i get a bit more fillament

I've had root problems with other float based designs. I'm wondering if i could modify the STL to block one of the flow paths and notch the other for a removable mesh screen on a 3d printed holder.

Happy to report that I got the scaled down print to fit everything! The float is a bit concerning in terms of how close a fit it is. I recommend picking a pump that does not require a lot of vertical clearance

For US based users, I’m recommending this brand of 2gal nursery pots: https://a.co/d/74vxCse It fits pretty well, and the short height should improve wicking performance. Hope to save some of your time searching!

These are nicely designed thank you. Can't wait to try them out - been printing them for the last few days. Could not get the floats from the HydroLand store in AU as they were out of stock with nothing coming in for months. Ended up finding them on AliExpress so we'll see what they're like when the come. BTW The pickup lockers at HydroLand/KegLand in Vic are awesome!!

Printing like grazy 😉
