Adjustable Height Grow Light Stand

Adjustable Height Grow Light Stand

Quick and easy but not pretty. I whipped up this model because I had some grow lights, but no way to suspend them over my seedlings prior to planting in the garden. I consider this a "version 1" and will likely do another version that looks better and has more connectors. This version doesn't use much filament and, if your printer is well tuned, can be printed quickly and without supports. This design uses a friction fit to allow you to adjust the position of the light to any position along the uprights, making it easy to move the light up as your seedlings grow.

How it Works

You'll need at least two of the PVC feet, and two of either cross members or hangers. Either the cross member or hanger. The model uses 1/2" schedule 40 PVC (this is a nominal measurement. PVC is based on ID not OD). You can cut the vertical and horizontal members to whatever size fits your light and scenario. The feet friction fit to the bottom of the uprights, and cross members and hangers can be slid up and down the uprights to whatever height is desired and easily moved as seedlings grow. Pictured I just used the cross members and hung my light directly from that. The pictured configuration has a maximum height of 2ft.

If you can't access 1/2" PVC pipe, or find that your printers tolerances are different, I've included the original files in FreeCAD format for easy modification.
