Mori Series — Japandi Self-Watering Cube Planters

✦ Welcome to Ikigaiform — where Japanese minimalism meets parametric design. Every model is crafted to bring calm, organic beauty to your space. ✦

The Mori Series is released as a curated set of six variations, each exploring a different expression of calm geometry and natural balance. All versions share the same self-watering system and print-optimized construction.

 

Every surface is designed to print concentrically and uninterrupted, with no gaps at the base and consistent wall thickness throughout. The result is a solid, watertight planter that looks refined while remaining highly optimized for FDM printing.

 

Designed for PLA or PETG, with profiles tuned for clean ribs, smooth interiors, and reliable water retention.

Print Settings

Global Settings / External Ribbed Body

(these settings apply to the ribbed exterior component)

• Wall loops: 1
• Bottom shells: 10
• Sparse infill: 0%
• Ensure vertical shell thickness: Disabled
• Only one wall on top surfaces: Not applied

Internal Body (Secondary Component)

The main planter body is split into a second internal component.
This allows full control over wall thickness and infill, removes unnecessary infill trapped inside the ribs, reduces material usage, and maintains enough solid structure to prevent water leaks.

• Wall loops: 3
• Sparse infill: 100%
• Infill pattern: Concentric

Self-Watering Insert

• Wall loops: 2
• Sparse infill: 100%
• Infill pattern: Concentric
• Wall generator: Arachne
• Seam position: Back

NOTE:

For best results, you can add a cotton or synthetic wick through the insert into the reservoir. The wick helps draw water up gradually, improving consistent moisture delivery and absorption at the root level. This keeps the growing medium evenly hydrated, reduces watering frequency, and supports healthier root development without the risk of overwatering.

 

New insert added – Nepenthes Net Pot
By user request, I’ve added a dedicated Nepenthes net-style insert, designed for plants that prefer high airflow around the roots and fast drainage. This insert works well for Nepenthes and other epiphytic or sensitive species where constant moisture without stagnation is important. The net pattern allows better oxygen exchange, easier root inspection, and helps prevent rot while still being compatible with the existing Mori Series outer body and reservoir system. Use it with appropriate substrate and, if needed, a wick depending on your setup.
