Aerogarden Extension

This is an extension for the Aerogarden to make the lamp higher to give the plants more room to grow.

This extension increases the height by about 9cm (~3.5in) and still allows the lamp to be raised or lowered as needed.

Recommend to build using PETG to make it stronger and more durable.

I printed it small side down with supports to ensure the section that inserts into the base is very precise.

*** The wire to power the lamp will need to be cut and an extension added and soldered on.


Instructions to implement the extension:

Removing the light tower from the base:
1) Remove the screws to the base of the aerogarden and open it up
2) Unplug the cord that connects the tower to the board (there is a two pin connector for this)
3) There is a single screw that holds the tower in place from below. Remove this.
4) Remove the tower from the base
