If you like this model and would like more give me a boost!
I am trying out something with this model I have wanted to do since hearing about PHA filament. That is to make an air pot to start seedlings in (Mostly pepper and Tomatos) that will disolve in the ground. This should give several benefits like that of air pruning the roots which will create a more robust root system, A pot that will not need to disturb the plant either to put it in the ground or to up pot as the seedling grows prior to planting all with the convience of a manure pot without the rot, the hassle of making soil blocks, or size issues as with toilet paper rolls!
At the moment this is experimental and I will update as things progress this gardening season!. If you decided to make this use PHA filament. I recommend Polar Filaments black (The black coloring is charcoal which helps with the soil ecosystem). if you don't use the profile I turned off walls floor and top so it was 15% gyroid infill only.
4/18/26 Update: It looks like the air pot side works well. The longer roots at the bottom are do to the fact that I Had them resting in a seedling tray of water so those lower parts were not exposed to air.
