Plant care: watering mechanisms and physical making

For the plant-care system, I wanted watering direction to adjust instead of always reaching one fixed point. I used two rotatable rings to adjust its direction, with modelled and 3D-printed moving parts, a base and connectors.

The adjustable mechanism covers a region of roughly 60°. Its parts secure the tube while leaving room for movement. Printing and assembly turn that arrangement into something I can operate.

Give water and electronics their own space.

Water and electronics also need a structural relationship. The aquarium and planter can connect, so I isolated the planter electronics in a separate lower compartment, apart from planting and water above.

From tube supports to the electronics compartment, these details follow real use. I translate each requirement into parts, mounting positions and assembly order.
