Code Named - "The Deku Tree"

A smart planter 3d printed from recycled Plastic and made smart using the raspberry pi Pico

What is Deku Tree Project

The Deku tree project is a 3d printing recycling program that takes plastic bottles and converts the plastic filament for 3d printing, that then is turned into the MVP of the program a 3d printed planter that has a raspberry pi (computer) and soil sensor, to make it a "smart planter" or "smart device". This smart device falls under upcycling plastic, agricultural technology, Plastic Agriculture, Embedded technology, Edge Computing, and STEM education.

Polyformer

Polyformer is a 3D-printed, open-source machine that recycles PET bottles (90% of plastic water bottles are made from PET) into filaments for 3D printers. read more

Planter

Nintendo Kirby Whispy Woods Inspired Plant Pot. This plant pot is inspired by Whispy Woods, the tree boss from Kirby. This garden accessory is printed in Polywood and helped bring the character to life, it's up to you to give them a bushy head of leaves that it so desperately needs! read more

Soil Sensor and Pi

A compact Raspberry Pi powered monitoring system designed to help you take the best possible care of your plants. It will tell you how well they're hydrated, attract your attention when they need water and, if you want to go a step further, even give them water! read more

Reclaiming waste, in house

For this project we are taking plastic bottles from a residential business and converting it into 3d printed filament to then make into 3d printed Planters for... plants. Adding a computer designed for educating in computer science called a "Raspberry Pi Pico" and a soil sensor creates what we are calling the "Smart Pi Planter"

How it Works

This is a business two pager, providing the overview and breakdown of the project and its mission and vision and goals in pitch deck format.
