Decided to separate the optional accessories of the climbing support system so that the original listing is not cluttered.
Due to frequent inquiries, I've set up a Thangs.com membership for those interested in obtaining a commercial license to sell prints of this model. Please note, this 3D model is NOT for sale, and any use of its media (including but not limited to STLs, print profiles, images, renders, and videos) is prohibited. If you come across it being sold or used commercially without a reference to the membership, kindly report it and let me know.
If you need the model in a specific dimension for your license, feel free to reach out anytime! 😊
The watering attachments are available for 2 versions of the pole:
There are currently 2 watering options:
This is my take on the pole watering method of using a funnel and an inverted water bottle. If balancing funnels or dealing with messy watering routines has been a hassle, this attachment offers a stable and slower drip method to keep your plants happy.
Available in 150ml and 300ml sizes, it easily attaches to the top of your moss pole. You can choose from three versions with 1, 2, or 3 holes to adjust the water flow rate to your needs.

It is advised to use filaments that are better in contact with water (like ABS) but I've only tested the models with both PLA and PETG. While not required, applying a sealant inside the reservoir can help prolong the life of the attachment.
Assembly
Simply attach the reservoir to the top of the pole, ensuring the hole(s) touches the pole medium to break surface tension.
This was requested by a lovely user of the main moss pole design. Their setup used LECA balls as the medium and needed a cap with a wick holder.
It comes in 10mm and 12mm wick diameter options. Just tie one end of the wick to the cap and place the other end in a water reservoir. Suitable for hydro, semi-hydro setups, or traditional potting mediums.
Print Configuration, Material and Post Processing
Print with the top side down where the wick holder is facing up. Use PLA or PETG with 3 wall loops for a solid build. While not required, adding a sealant on the hoop can prolong the life of the attachment.
