Or you could buy some PVC tubes, cut holes in them and grow. WTF do you need 3D printing for? How is your printer going to dog a hole in the ground, install a reservoir, install the pump, cooling system etc..
I can go to Home Depot get some food grade rubber maid bins and grow away.

Wow an ecommerce store, who would have come up with such a novel idea in this time and age especially with HOIME DELIVERY. That's fucking ground breaking if this was 1991.
3d printed plastic products seem to last so far. You can even build a gun (what the gov says is a gun the lower receiver FYI) using one that will last for a few hundred shots. The titanium and other metal 3d printers are mighty impressive. But still very expensive. Some high end car company's use 3d printed headlights and taillights. I still don't see the appeal of using 3d printing in this case for the reasons canna review has already stated. No idea if you can print food grade platings with 3d printers either.

Seriously there's nothing this guy can print that can't be made super cheap from excising plumbing. Hydroponic methods are simple the main problem would be availability of water and someone knowing how to grow a crop. If they created some super economical desalination plant then they might have something which can be used near oceans and make hydroponics and even normal farming explode on dead coasts.
This just read like a problem looking for investor money.

Well tell us the great advancement in hydroponics a 3d printer can accomplish vs some tables, tubes, channels and a water pump.

Oh. My. God. You really did eat paint as a kid.
The benefit is you can 'print' it out rather than going to the store to buy those things. Of course it's not an "advancement in hydroponic tech", it's not intended to be. The entire point of any 3D tech is you can make it in your home rather than buying it at a store. Seriously, step away from the lead paint. You're getting dumber.
You're totally right cost has nothing to do with anything! Back to being a retard I see. Who cares if you can do something yourself when if cost multiple times the conventional way!

I'm going to spend $3K on a printer to print a 1" pvc elbow that could get for $2 at Home Depot? Think about it, there is nothing that this printer could print that I can't get locally. Who the fuck wouldn't have back up parts if they are growing in commercial situation? You actually think a home user is going to sit there printing manifolds for a hydro system?
How you expect this system to say print a 4x8 flood and drain table or say 16" of ntf tubing with the holes already cut in food grade quality plastics?
Again a problem looking for sucker investors.
He won't be missed.
