Wind Sculpted Planter w/ Water Level Indicator

MODYLO: The Aeolian Planter

Aeolian Elegance Meet Smart Utility

The Aeolian Planter is a study in organic movement. Inspired by the natural patterns carved by desert winds, its rhythmic, undulating surface provides a soft yet structured home for your botanical collection. This design marks a significant evolution in the MODYLO ecosystem, introducing a sophisticated Integrated Water Level Indicator to ensure your plants receive exactly what they need.

Part of the MODYLO Ecosystem This design uses the MODYLO Unified DNA. All parts are cross-compatible with other elements in the collection. To learn how to mix, match, and stack this planter with other styles, visit the MODYLO Master Reference Page.

The Intelligence of Light & Water

While the Aeolian keeps the meditative "vibe" of the collection, it solves a common frustration of closed-reservoir planters. Tucked seamlessly into the integrated watering conduit is a custom-designed float system. This vibrant indicator provides instant visual feedback on your reservoir levels—eliminating guesswork and ensuring the health of your plants through a perfectly balanced "sip" system.

Customization

The Aeolian is fully parametric, allowing you to fine-tune the "wind-swept" intensity of its texture to match your environment.

• Effect Depth & Intensity: Dial these in to create anything from subtle ripples to deep, high-contrast ridges.
• Height and Diameter: adjust the height and diameter of the planter to your needs

Here are different intensities applied to the Aeolian Planter:

Anatomy of the Assembly

The Aeolian Planter is a 3-part modular system designed for ease of use and plant health:

1. The Planter: The primary soil bed featuring a dedicated D-shaped conduit for the float and water access that screws in the Base
2. The Base (Reservoir): The base with the aeolian aesthetic with room for water under the Planter.
3. The Float Indicator: A 3D-printed float designed to stay buoyant and visible within the conduit.

Functional Care & Printing

• Watering: Fully compatible with the MODYLO Specialized Funnel. The D-shaped adapter fits perfectly into the conduit, allowing you to fill the reservoir without disturbing the soil.
• The Float: For the best visibility, print the Float Indicator in a high-contrast color (like Signal Red or Neon Orange).
• Watertight Finish: Use the Arachne wall generator and ensure your flow rate is calibrated. A matte or stone-textured filament is recommended to capture the wind-sculpted details of the Aeolian ridges.

The Adapted Funnel

This specialized funnel is designed to perfectly complement the modular planter. It features a specific geometry adapted to fit the D-shaped, integrated watering channel of the pot.

• Adapted Interface: It features a specific geometry adapted to fit the D-shaped, integrated watering channel.
• Integrated Venting: A small integrated channel at the interface of the Adapted Funnel ensures a separate venting path. This prevents trapped air from obstructing water flow, making the watering process efficient.
