Snapmaker Unboxing 📦

As per usual @snapmakerinc holding themselves to the highest standard of product packaging. The unboxing experience is similar to that of an @apple product.

Excited to start working with the new 10W Laser Module. The 10W laser is capable of 8x the speed of the 1.6W laser that originally shipped with Snapmaker printer.

Ended up having to remake this video 2 times since Instagram decided to have issues with the draft saving. That’s why there isn’t any audio from the video. I need to find a new app for making reels external to Instagram, if you have any recommendations let me know in the comments.

New projects coming soon leveraging the power of the 10W laser module, so be on the lookout. 👀

PROJECT DETAILS 🌱

For those of you who are seeing this project for the first time you might be wondering what this is and how it works. In short it’s an automatic plant watering and monitoring system.

A reservoir in the base supplies water to the planter via a micro submersible pump, which is controlled by an @arduino.cc Nano and receives input from a capacitive soil moisture sensor. When the moisture within the planter breaks a threshold of sub 20% the water pump begins to pump water via a small tube until an adequate moisture level is achieved. These moisture levels are reported out in two ways, on the 128x32 OLED LCD as a percentage and on the 10 segment LED bar graph.

Additionally the system can be turned on and off using the small square button on the front face of the housing.

PROJECT ASSESSMENT 📖

Overall I’m extremely happy with how this project came together. I set some pretty tough design restrictions on myself by trying to limit the overall footprint of the system, which in retrospect I wouldn’t have done but none the less I was able to cram in all the electronics and functions I set out to achieve.

This was also one of the first projects where I implemented the use of the “Fuzzy” feature in the @josefprusa slicer. Very happy with the results, it did a great job hiding layer lines in tandem with the matte @graftmilk filament.

THOUGHTS? 🧠

🌱 Automation

Introducing the automatic plant monitoring/watering system.

Complete with a capacitive moisture sensor, 128x32 OLED LCD, 9 Segment Bar Graph LED, Micro Submersible Pump, all of which controlled by an Arduino Nano with the help of a Power Module.

The 9 segment LED and 128x32 display help visualize the moisture level in the planter, while the submersible motor helps behind the scenes to supply water to the plant once a sub 20% moisture level is reached.

This is my entry into the @snapmakerinc #reviveinspring design challenge, centered around plants.

Electronics Module Complete ⚙️

Overall I’m super happy with how it turned out, it was a pretty smooth process and I like how compact I was able to make it. I did have one problem with the design that I didn’t initially anticipate.

THE PROBLEM ⚠️

The front face of the 9 segment display, didn’t sit far enough forward to clear the button assembly on the power module, meaning if I wanted to flush mount the electronics module I’d need to either recess the power module (can’t do that) or put the 9 segment display on some IC sockets to give me the necessary offset from the board.

SOLUTION 🧠

I opted for the latter. I thought that one IC socket would give me enough room but I ended up needing to stack two together to achieve the necessary offset.

The last 3D printed part finished this morning for the housing , so stay tuned for the final product!

Electronics Module Diagram 📍

The Electronics Module is a compact stack-up, consisting primarily of two protoboards and an @arduino.cc Nano. This configuration allowed me to fit all the necessary components for this project in to a small footprint.

This whole module will be placed into a 3D printed housing, which will also act as the water reservoir for the automatic plant watering system. 🌱

Now it’s time to start soldering all my components together! Stay tuned for more details on that soon. 👀
