Introducing our Self-Watering Planter 3D model, designed to provide the plants with consistent hydration while adding a modern touch to your home or garden. This model consists of three distinct parts: the planter itself and a two-piece self-watering insert system.
Features:
Planter Design:
- The planter is designed in two pieces to save filament material, making it efficient and cost-effective.
- It can be glued together after printing for a seamless finish, though it can also be printed as a single piece if you prefer, which requires more support material.
Self-Watering Insert System:
- The insert system includes a water reservoir and a wicking mechanism that ensures your plants get just the right amount of water.
- The black insert is designed to fit snugly inside the planter, providing a stable and efficient self-watering system.
Print & Assembly Instructions:
Planter:
- Print the two pieces of the planter separately to save on filament material.
- After printing, align the pieces and glue them together for a sturdy planter.
- Alternatively, if you prefer a single-piece planter, print with the necessary supports, which will use more filament for supports.
Inserting the Self-Watering System:
- Place the black self-watering insert into the planter, ensuring it sits flush with the bottom.
- Fill the reservoir with water, and the wicking mechanism will take care of the rest.
