Elegant self watering planter (wick and drip tray version coming soon)

As you can see on the second picture. The planter has a ridge on the inside. This is how far up you wanna pour the water. Then when you put in the inner part, the water wont rise too far, and spill. The outside diameter is about 75 mm and inside is about 70 mm.

The “accessories” version is for is for future accessories to add to the bottom, that I will be making at some point.

To print this, you wanna make sure it is water tight. Here is how I do it, and what some of my settings are. I'm printing at 0.15 mm layer height and a 0.4 mm nozzle. Though I have set the printing width to 0.6 mm. I set the parameters, top and bottom layer to 3-4, and the infill to 100%. But probably most importantly, set the extrusion multiplier to something like 1.1. You can also up the nozzle temperature a bit or turn down the cooling. The goal is to melt the layer lines together as much as possible. I have seen some get water tight prints in vase mode with 1 parameter and 1 bottom layer. But you know your own printer the best. https://help.prusa3d.com/article/watertight-prints_112324 (for more info on watertight printing)

For this planter I highly recommend using fuzzy skin. It gives it an awesome texture, plus you can easily hide the z-seam. For that you should also set seam position to random. Here are my settings for fuzzy skin. It adds very little time to the print.

For the inner you wanna create a height range modifier, so only the top visible part gets fuzzy skin. Also set random seam position. You can set this up on the right side, at least in PrusaSlicer.

Also, I'm am working on a version with a wick system, that can also work as a drip tray. When I get those done, I will probably up the price a tiny bit, so If you buy this now you will get those for free.

Feel free to share feedback and suggestions to changes. Enjoy!
