This is a practical plant watering system that you can use to water your plants. The speed of watering (drip rate) can be easily adjusted using the adjustment wheel. It works perfectly with 500 ml and 750 ml PETG bottles from Europe with a PC028 standard thread. The design provides for an air vent which allows for a constant drip rate. When the adjustment wheel is turned all the way down/in, a very low drip rate can be achieved – I haven't found this feature on any other model, so I designed my own version. If necessary, insert a piece of kitchen roll into the thread for the water bottle to further reduce the drip rate. This print works like a charm!

Instructions:

Print all parts using PETG filament
Glue the shaft to the body using super glue
Attach the valve to the body
Fill a PETG bottle with water and attach it to the body
Adjust the valve to you needs

Have fun and let me know what you think - save your plants ;-) !

Somehow the air channel causes it to overflow at the beginning and then eventually nothing drips out anymore Approximately 250ml always remains in the bottle Otherwise no problems it prints without issues

Replying to @Eccodyne :

problem solved It was my mistake the bottles were too soft I've now tested it with a slightly firmer bottle and it works perfectly

@chesborga

what kind of plant/tree us that?

The designer has replied

@Eccodyne

Hi, it is called a „Lucky Chestnut“.

@chesborga

interesting, it looks like it is braided

@rattes

It didn't work for me, I don't know if I did something wrong. The water comes out of the breathing tube

This can happen if you use bottles that are too large, as the water pressure becomes too high. Use bottles with a maximum capacity of 0.5 liters as described

print went perfect but water keeps squirting out of the ventilation hole. Even when I use a 0.5L bottle as the designer suggested.

went away for the long weekend and these were amazing

@user_3636831622

works very strange, can't regulate it. looks that water consumption depends rather on the horizontal level but not on the regulator.....

Other Issues:The ground stake doesn't really hold even with glue there's too little contact surface Otherwise it's not bad at all Time will tell if the dripping works like this The idea is good

@Eccodyne

Hello, perhaps use a bit more or a stronger glue than superglue, then it should work

PETG is designed to be chemically resistant. This includes glue resistance. Polyurethane glue should work better than cyanoacrylate at this task. Make sure to etch the adhering surfaces first. Be careful of fumes.
