Gardena Extensions

The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 31

It’s fascinating to see completely new systems in 3D printing, like Gridfinity or Honeycomb Storage Wall. These systems understand the weak spots of 3D printing and find clever workarounds.

There’s also a big market to extend an existing system with inventions of varying usefulness. The Gardena water system is an interesting example. It’s easily accessible as the adapters have a good size and form for printing. The risk is low, the worst outcome is spilled water. The official accessories have high prices, creating demand for cheaper solutions.

It has a high WAF (wife acceptance factor), as your wife is probably also spending time in the garden, allowing you to show off your newest printed discovery.

One of the most popular projects in this space is a sprinkler with interchangeable nozzles. Depending on your need, you can choose the right adapter and with it the area to support with water. To my knowledge, an extension that Gardena does not offer officially – yet.

Ahh, renderings, the land where things never fall over.

What to Print this Week

A fountain, now that's something that Gardena should add to their official system immediately.

DHH is into Home Servers, too The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 49 Home servers are back and many cloud computing offerings are a complete rip-off: DHH discovered the same seismic changes this year, and he's a genius marketer. David Heinemeier Hansson, or DHH in short, must live in the same social media bubble as I do, our most important topics overlap this year: home servers are on the cusp of becoming a serious alternative to cloud offerings and the cloud is turning into an expensive joke....

Open Models And Local Inference Are Back In The Game!

Open Models And Local Inference Are Back In The Game! The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 44 Open Models and Local Inference are back in the game! For a few months, it seemed closed models would outpace open models. Thanks to Chinese labs, the race is open again! And with the Framework Desktop, the right hardware is near! The last months were hard for open model enthusiasts like me. There was a clear and distinguishable gap between the big closed models and the open models. Google’s Gemini 2.5 is...
