Introducing a 3D printed planter designed for effortless seed starting! Using recycled K-Cups as pots, this planter repurposes single-use items, giving them a new life. It features a water reservoir that can easily be filled through the inlet, keeping your plants hydrated.

Instructions
- Drink 12 coffees (K-Cups are easier to clean out with coffee in your system).
- Print the container in PETG. I printed the lid in PETG, but PLA would likely be suitable for this as well. The extraction rings can be printed in PLA.
Drill or poke extra holes (dia. ~2.4mm) in the bottom of the K-Cups.
Snap the extraction rings onto each K-Cup, as shown below.
- Fill K-Cups with soil and plant your favourite seeds.
- Put the lid on the container and insert the K-Cups into the holes.
Fill water reservoir.
