We’re up to Float Valve V5.0

PET Bottle Adapter

Many Many requests for this.
Credit to all that suggested it, its a great idea.
Thankyou for your inspiration.
Same Print settings as Mechanical Parts.
It's a pressure fit design, but may leak a little air due to layer lines.
Fill with silicone and screw tight if you want true waterproof seal.
Will fit many different Bottle sizes, which means it will also work as a high pressure float with larger bottles, and you can miniaturise with smaller bottles, probably suitable for gravity feed.

Only limited by your imagination

Hello, after the latest video I've had the idea to create adapters to the Aus and amerimax hardware store PVC Pipe available to more people around the world.

I'd love feedback on what fittings you would like to see in both the Australian and US pipe sizes as I'm currently developing them.

Releasing this for the people who requested it.
It will work with the flow super released last week.
It's a full 3D Printable 10 Frame Langstroth Hive Body, Base, Brood, Telescopic Roof, Landing, and entrance Reducer
The telescope lid is made deep to accommodate insulation (extruded foam, etc)
I recommend painting to waterproof.
With regards to cost of material... This is roughly equivalent in cost to wooden langstroth boxes. But the print time and energy involved is high. (I'll leave each person to weigh this up themselves.)
In my opinion is probably only going to be useful to people in areas without access to product supply chain infrastructure or as a fun project.
There are possible insulation benefits if you tinker with infill.
I've made a version that is in 4 parts for anyone with unlimited print dimensions...
Fits 256x256 beds...

It's now available on my Patreon

Hey guys, not so exciting but would help me out a lot.

If you’ve had a good experience with hydro land and are enjoying the low cost hydroponic supplies, I’d love if you left a 5 star review.

It’s a simple button click and really helps the store in the google algorithm.

This will help get more hydro stuff to more people at better prices.

Much love.
Hooch.

Small but important announcement.
We are now stocking pest management solutions on hydroland.

This comes with a particular responsibility that myself and the team are committed to, which is that we will only stock pollinator (bee 🐝 ) friendly solutions that are safe for use on food crops (lettuce etc 🥬) when properly used (with withholding if applicable)

I will be doing a video on how to apply once we have stocked the three main biocides we are trying to beat the market price for and provide in quantities that are appropriate for small backyard applications.

The first of these is dipel which comes in $7 less than Bunnings Yates brand, for more than double the amount than the Yates product.
