Modern self-watering hexagonal planter designed for fast printing, durability, and clean aesthetics.

The design consists of two main parts:

  • Water reservoir
  • Upper planter pot for soil and plants

The planter can easily be filled from the outside without removing the upper section, making watering simple and practical for everyday use.

Features:

  • Self-watering reservoir system
  • Modern hexagonal design
  • Minimalistic and clean appearance
  • Fast-print optimized profiles
  • PETG optimized for outdoor durability
  • Also works perfectly with PLA
  • Strong and robust structure
  • Easy external refill access
  • Scalable design for larger plants or more soil volume

The included optional 3-part insert allows:

  • Growing three small plants at once
  • Seed starting
  • Better use of a single water reservoir
  • Plant separation inside one pot

The design remains structurally stable even under strong sunlight because the soil moisture and lower water reservoir help regulate temperatures and reduce deformation risk.

The print profiles are already prepared with:

  • 1x reservoir
  • 1x planter pot

This makes the files ready to print immediately without additional setup.

The entire design can also be scaled larger or smaller as long as both main parts are scaled equally to maintain proper fitment.

Optimized specifically for PETG printing to achieve:

  • Fast print times
  • Good structural strength
  • Clean surface quality
  • Reliable outdoor usability

Also works perfectly fine with PLA, but PETG was chosen mainly because of better outdoor durability and leftover filament already available in inventory.

Perfect for:

  • Indoor plants
  • Balcony setups
  • Herbs
  • Seed starters
  • Succulents
  • Modern home decoration
  • Small flowers and greenery
