This time I have designed a round planter with a wick irrigation system. Since my square pot often raised questions about its watertightness, I filled it with water for a few hours. The PLA pot is watertight (though I will still seal the inside with epoxy resin for easier cleaning). I printed the pot with four walls and 100% infill! You can use less for the rest. PETG would need to be tested. The inner diameter is 18cm, slightly larger than the square one. The line visible inside the pot in the image is intentional; it indicates the water level limit to prevent submerging the inner part. I incorporated a bevel on the top and inner parts to eliminate the need for supports (everything prints support-free). I also omitted the float, as it received little attention in my previous pot design. To water, the top part needs to be pulled out. I hope I have explained everything clearly, but feel free to ask if you have any questions. Enjoy! You will need a 6mm irrigation wick!
