SGBox assembly
LED holders
Since the beginning of SuperGreenLab the plan was to release a complete box. Just plug & play.
But since shipping complete furniture worldwide is not an easy and cheap task, we resorted to selling the electronics alone, so people could DIY their own.
Well, guess what we’re back at it!
Let me introduce to you, the SuperGreenBox.
It’s downloadable, easy to produce locally (google “laser cutting shop”), and easy to assemble.
No more power tools to use, no holes to make, no nothing. Just follow the guide and start growing😎
Let’s start with the LED holders.
Gather the required parts:
Take those three parts:
Now, while the screw is still not all the way in, place the m3 square nut in its slot on the other side.
Then you can finish screwing everything together.
Don’t screw too much, you might damage the plastic.
When totally screwed it should be quite hard to move the arm.
But don’t worry you can still adjust the tightness later.
Now take the “led-holder” and the “wrist” parts, insert the “led-holder” into its slot.
There are holes in case it doesn’t hold well enough, but just pushing it in should be good.
Now attach the wrist and led holder to the arm.
Just like the other side, place the screw then place the arm, and finally the nuts on the other side.
Aaaaand now we’re ready to add the LED panel to the holder.
We’ll just use zip ties for that step. Place them like in the picture.
Ok now do it three more times!
Yay!
Now it’s time to put our holders inside the box!
So we’ll need:
Insert a m4 nut in the corner part’s slot.
Do it for both sides of the corner part.
Ok before we attach the panels in the box, make sure you put them in the right orientation.
Top one should be oriented upward. And bottom one downward.
We want the top panel to be adjustable to spread its light toward the lower part of the box.
And the bottom one is adjustable to light up the upper part of the box.
This way you can really surround your plant with light, simulating an ambient light comparable to what it would get outdoors.
Alright now you can use the m4x16mm counter sink screws to attach the panels.
Make sure to put the panels on the same corners we already got the corner parts screwed in when we initially did the halves.
Now do the same for the three others!
Woohoo!
Ok we’re going to add some ventilation for temperature and humidity control.
But before that we need to add a carbon filter for potential smells.
The carbon filter is optional, if you like the smell and your neighbors can handle it, you can skip to the blower section.
