This planter uses a passive self-watering system, making plant care effortless. Simply pour water into the outer pot, and your plant will absorb moisture as needed through two wicking cords threaded through the inner pot. These cords act like roots, drawing water up from the reservoir to keep the soil consistently moist.

Dimensions: 

• Inner Pot:  87.2 mm inner diameter × 98 mm height

• Outer pot: 148.4 mm diameter × 135.2 mm height

• Total (Assembled): 148.4 mm diameter × 165 mm height (including stand, inner pot, and outer pot)

Printing Recommendations

1. Outer Pot

I recommend printing it with PETG to ensure it is waterproof. If you really want, you can use PLA, but PETG is the better choice. Print at a low speed to allow the layers to fuse properly. Use at least 4 perimeters (walls) and a minimum of 6 bottom layers, with more for extra strength. 

The pot in the photo was printed with the Fuzzy Skin effect. Here are the settings I used – fuzzy skin point distance 0.1 and fuzzy skin thickness 0.1

2. Inner pot

I also recommend printing it with PETG, using 3-4 perimeters (walls). It should be oriented as shown in the file. Use tree supports for better print quality. The infill can be set to any preference.

3. Base stand

I recommend using 2 perimeters (walls). Any filament type can be used. The infill is up to your preference—I printed mine with 10% infill.
