Yes, please do experiment, design, and make your own watering nozzle modifications! As described in the video on the Watering Nozzle documentation page, the tool has a two-piece design to allow the nozzle to be swapped out with other hole configurations. Developing alternative nozzles has been mentioned several times here in the forum as well.

You can:

  • Modify your existing nozzle.
  • Buy a second nozzle and modify it (enlarge holes, plug holes, drill more holes, etc.)
  • Modify a copy the source model and 3D print your custom design.
  • Use the source drawings to machine or make a new nozzle using whatever cutting tools you have.

If you do end up making a new nozzle design, please share any progress and results here in the forum!

I keep forgetting this is really open source…
I should have phrased it "hey robo-farmers, ever think of printing/making various watering tools such as…"
I will learn… :grin:

@Gabriel are you thinking about adding to official Farmbot on Onshape those versions of nozzles/tools which will be working for other users. So newcomers wont need to look further for customized 3D prints?

Perhaps something like a GitHub repository of watering nozzles would work?
