Maker Faire Rocklin 2025

HydroCube

Home: California, United States

Over the last 4 years, I've designed a futuristic 3D printed garden- controlling lighting, humidity & airflow. Goal: full phone-based environmental control to test custom growth setups. See my booth for hardware, software & design progress.

My name is Elliott. I taught myself how to work with electronics to the point of being able to design pretty capable PCBs. I taught myself how to use 3D modeling software so that I can 3D print this garden I have been wanting to build since high school. And I have spent the last four years consistently iterating, learning, and producing these mini hydroponic gardens.

What Inspired You to Make This?

I have always wanted to build a fully automated hydroponic garden, at least since high school. and then when I was in college I bought a 3D printer and it kinda took off. and I have been consistently working on it almost every day for the last 4 years
