There is a seam that acts as a guide for how far to fill. Don't fill over this line or water will be pushed out through the top!<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/323633/2023-12-29_f7d43224f4262.gif"><figcaption>The base acts as a reservoir of water - fill to just below the seam then place your plant on top</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;When you're planting your herb in the top half, it is recommended to use a wicking material at the very bottom. This helps to slowly absorb water into the soil and roots. You can place a couple of cotton balls / cotton wool in the bottom of the pot to do this. Then fill with soil, and your herb of choice.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/323633/2023-12-29_d13556ba7b91.gif"><figcaption>Place cotton wool into the bottom of the pot to act as a wicking material.</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>PRINT SETTINGS</h3>Use the designer profiles to ensure the base is water-tight, or you'll risk water seeping through the print! If you're looking to adjust the profile, or build your own - these are the key settings to maintain ensure there are no leaks:<ul><li>Infill overlap: 50%</li><li>Walls: 3</li><li>Top shell layers: 5</li></ul>Additional profiles have been provided to batch print, or print using a single plate and color.

The Big Greek

★★★ Update ★★★ 03.01.2024 ★★★&nbsp;after some people asked if I could make a version for 6x3mm magnets, i have finished the files for you.you can find these versions here <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/de/models/121783#profileId-131090" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/de/models/121783#profileId-131090</a>As I do NOT want to be banned for profile spamming, I have created a new download page.&nbsp;Please take this into account.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&nbsp;Automatic Z-axis Lube Helper&nbsp;Easy to use easy to grease - No Supports needed&nbsp;I think all the tools that are available to download here are really great, only one thing bothers me, they only lubricate one side and the threads don't get enough in my opinion, and you have to do it manually.I thank SavageLau for the food for thought and everyone else.&nbsp;&nbsp;Why do it manually when you can do it on the touchscreen?&nbsp;&nbsp;That's why I developed this tool, and it works perfectly.&nbsp;The height is selected so that you can use it without a buildplate. Please do it that way, because you don't want to have any fat on the plate. you can't get that down so well.&nbsp;You can use it with or without magnets and it is suitable for all Z-axes (including the rear one). Of course you can also use it manually :-)&nbsp;The tip at the end is there so that you can remove the excess grease from the ball bearing or clean the threads again or, if you think there is too much grease, simply wipe it out.&nbsp;First print the tool (there are 2 versions, one with and one without Logo)&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_6ca3e4a64ef4b.jpg">&nbsp;Next there is the option to insert magnets. if you do this, you will need some in the size 5x3mm. It also works without magnets, if none are available. These also hold the tool to the screws next to the ball bearing.The elevations that hold the magnet fit perfectly into the recess next to the ball bearing where the screws are.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_ed4fc73d9864a.jpg"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_0b93a148f8791.jpg">&nbsp;&nbsp;Once all this is done, we can start using the tool.&nbsp;First move your heatbed downwards, then position the tool on the desired axis. Press slightly diagonally over the axis and then downwards until it sits perfectly flush.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_660b48243315.jpg"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_1df0e77ce806b.jpg">&nbsp;&nbsp;then fill in the lubricating grease at the top. either the one supplied or a good one of your choice&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_da5f4714cba24.jpg"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_758ad73d9a70c.jpg">&nbsp;&nbsp;next, raise the heatbed with the touchscren. be careful not to go all the way to the stop, otherwise you could damage your printer. it's best to do it bit by bit and don't forget to add grease, as one filling won't be enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/464558/2023-12-29_2bdb6b4176f4c.gif">&nbsp;&nbsp;if you don't like the result after the first run (as we all know, tastes differ), repeat this procedure until you are satisfied.it takes a little practice and skill, but then it works perfectly.&nbsp;easy to use, easy to grease&nbsp;Have fun building and greasingIf you like my work/project consider supporting me with these options:<ul><li>leave a like</li><li>leave a comment</li><li>download the file</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebiggreek" rel="nofollow noopener">or By me a Coffee</a></li></ul>&nbsp;If you like the project, simply like and download it.
