Description

Introducing the upgraded version of the self-watering planter design! This remix takes the original square design from Mikolas Zuza and improves upon it with fixes to the problematic outer and inner parts.

With its self-watering feature, this planter makes it easy to keep your plants hydrated without the hassle of constant watering. Add a touch of elegance to your outdoor or indoor space.

When printed with heat-resistant filaments, this planter is built to last and withstand the elements. Its rectangular shape is perfect for fitting into tight spaces or lining up along a wall or fence.

Upgrade your gardening game with this easy-to-use and stylish self-watering square planter.

 

Changes

  • outer shell
    • increased "chimney" height by 5mm to match the rectangular model
      Note: without the proper height, the indicator will touch the bottom and will still be showing, indicating wrong water levels
    • added missing aligners for the indicator inside the "chimney" to keep the indicator always straight
  • inner shell
    • increased syphon hole to match the rectangular model (30.4x30.4mm)
    • decreased overall size to match the tolerances of the rectangular model
      original sizes didn't have much tolerance and would be difficult to 
      work with

 

Printing

Outside Shell/Floater - I would recommend reading the watertight article on prusa3d.com

Inner shell - This doesn't require much work since we will rely on the outside shell being watertight, 0.3mm layer height, default settings

Indicator - Should be as light as possible, 1 perimeter, 0.2mm layer height, no infill
