Description

Your mint died again because you forgot to water it… We all have been here many times. It's sad but you have to move on, speaking of moving on… Move yourself to your slicer and print this beautiful pot, i know you want it! (or at least you need it)

I almost forgot! Would you like to have a little handy water indicator for your little handy auto watering flower pot? Good news for you! All you need is toothpick, some super glue and you are ready to go! If you want to make it there are 3 extra elements you need to print, good luck!

hi, first of all, nice model! I printed it and assembled it and put water in it. Unfortunately the water rises to the same level as the water reservoir. In short: it doesn't work :(

Its best to use it with plants that can grow on expanded clay, you can layer expanded clay at the bottom of the pot and then put some other type of soil on it, keep water level on expanded clay layer and it should be fine

@dustydumptruck

it's a nice model! love the looks. just wondering what the instructions are for the float? i think i did what you showed but the toothpick is not floating in the water. also are you supposed to add that little piece for the toothpick on before slicing or just glue it on?

Thanks! This floating thing is hard to print so it floats You might try to glue wine cork to it if it's not working
