Automatic Irrigation System/Multiple Capacity Options/Effortless Watering/Delayed Watering
Print Profile(5)
Description
An automated watering device, utilizing “intentionally engineered print imperfections,” allows water within the reservoir to slowly seep through gaps, gently moistening the soil. The design is intended to slowly dispense water over approximately seven days, supplementing hydration for houseplants during short absences.
Instructions:
- (Optional) Print a leak test piece to verify water seepage before proceeding to avoid material waste
- Print the automated watering device and test its functionality. If the leakage rate deviates from expectations, adjust the high layer height (orange section) range within Bambu Studio's “Variable Layer Height” feature to increase or decrease water flow
- Carefully insert the device's base cone into the potting soil, orienting the z-seam (leakage point) towards the center of the pot
- Fill the device with clean water
- (Optional) Print and attach the dust cover
Recommended Combinations:
| Pot Size | Watering Device Size and Quantity |
|---|---|
| 120mm～200mm | 250mL * 1 |
| 200mm～300mm | 1L * 1 |
| 300mm～350mm | 1L * 2 |
| 350mm and above | 1L * 3 |
Precautions:
- Variations in printer and filament may result in differing leakage rates; the final product may exhibit some deviation from design expectations
- This automated watering device is intended as an emergency watering solution for short absences only; its water replenishment efficiency is relatively low. **Thoroughly saturate the soil before use** to supplement with slow water release from the device
- Over time, soil may clog the device's gaps, requiring periodic removal and cleaning
