GardenBot

My entry for the #ANYCUBICGARDEN contest. Like this design if you want to see it win and see more on this project in the future! I had been considering a cnc based gardening machine ever since I saw the FarmBot. There were two reasons that this design didn't work for me out of the box though. My first constraint was that I really wanted something slightly smaller that would work indoors. Problem number two is the cost. I suspect that with the FarmBot you are paying for a more tailored experience, but the reality is that most of necessary components are really quite cheap and, if it's running indoors, any sort of added cost around waterproofing components becomes a rather moot point. So where does that lead us? I'm presenting a variation here called the GardenBot. The GardenBot relies on more off the shelf components and 3d printed parts to reduce the cost and make it more flexible so the machine can be sized to fit what size you have available. It is also designed to be compatible with software from the FarmBot so it can leverage their open source code. This is still a work in progress, but you can see the designs, parts lists (which may be incomplete or updated in future iterations), the current development iterations of the models (which may or may not all be correct so feel free to use at your own risk), and the progress on my build.
