Fab Academy 2020 - "How to make almost anything"

Creativity * (masterpiece + hanging plant + LED lighting + water) = hanging masterpiece

It is, as in the picture, as it contains a natural plant for people who love plants and do not have enough time to take care of them, so from here the idea of my project started, where you can add this plant and enjoy its view, Without the need to take care of it. The basic idea is that the plant will be able to water itself through a sensor that reads the humidity of the soil (Soil drought) and supplies the plant with water until the humidity reaches a certain degree Thus, during this process, you will enjoy the rainbow colors Every time you water the plant itself, and all you have to do is fill in your plant's tank approximately once every 3 Weeks

The water descends on it like rain, and with the presence of LED lights on the sides surrounding the water, it will reflect random visual forms in a wonderful way.







What will it do?


I thought carefully about what can be done to be a final project, and I came up with a business idea that merges between the plant and the modern living that we live in, which has reduced the green area in our lives, and it is a hanging plant masterpiece that does not need to be taken care of, as it cares for itself as it gives an aesthetic appearance and psychological comfort to the person who Look up to her.



Who's done what beforehand?


I love plants so I wanted my final project to be related to plants and how they have a positive impact on our lives so I did a lot of research work to see if someone implemented something similar to the idea of my final project and I found a set of the following images as they are similar to my project in terms of comment only


What will you design?


I will design many things(2d)(3d), the wooden frame to the water tank and the vase and The PCB board that will work the brain


What materials and components will be used?



Where will come from?

The material is in the laboratory. And things that are not there I will buy it from the market


How mach will they cost?


Name Cost
Atmega328P 2$
LED Strip $4.99
Acquarium Water Pump $21.99
Acrylic 3mm 25$
Plywood for wooden structure 10$
3D Printing Filament (PLA) 15$
Soil Moisture Detector Sensor 12$
total (PLA) 90.98$


What parts and systems will be made?


I will build the structure and the casing, the lighting system and the PCB board,If I have time, I will build the water tank with the 3D printer


What processes will be used?



What questions need to be answered?


Will I be able to finish the work on the final project as planned before the deadline? Also, the fablab is closed for a long time because of the quarantine.so I will do all my best to finish it on time and with the best quality.


How will it be evaluated?
