Modular Self-Watering Pot

Self-Watering Plant Pot – Modular Core Design

This is a functional 3D printed self-watering plant pot with a reusable modular core system. The inner core contains an integrated water reservoir and a simple wick system that provides consistent moisture to the plant roots. The pin works as a water level indicator so you always know when to refill.

The design allows you to reuse the core and change the outer style of the pot without replanting. Clean, practical, and easy to print.
