Description
This is a self watering reservoir for grow bags (appr. 15 cm/ 6 inch). I tested it with wicks up to 6 mm in diameter but for the small grow bags you don't need as much.
It has 3 parts: Reservoir, lid, spike.

It's easy to disassemble, clean or replace the wick.
Update: I recommend testing if the reservoir leaks after printing. If your print settings are not optimized it might leak. Fill it with water and leave it in the sink for a while. If it leaks you can seal it with a layer of
