So I made one of these towers, the problem is white petg filament still allows light through in a sort of white glow, which allows algae growth on the inside. I'm going to make another soon with more infill/walls and in a darker color like a forest green, hoping this will block enough light
@@bigbearlantz considering that it was just that one little section that I had to print in gray, and I had been using that white roll for a while, the pieces that I printed were far less than a 1k roll of PETG. However, that said, most people are probably going to want to print more pieces to stack their towers higher than I did.
Very nice! I've been considering making one of those towers too. Now I see all the efforts involved. Thanks!

@@Dryesias interesting. Thanks for sharing. If you can, update us on your results.
There is a PetG which is light-tight. Add some H2O2, it kills algea. Also I switched to a different fertilizer, that also improved water quality
All I see is GCODE, is there an STL version I am missing?
On the page, there are print files, which contain the gcode, and model files, which are the .stl files.
That's a pretty cool design. Good luck on the move. How much filament would you say it took for all the prints on this?
