chemical plant planter (selfwatering)

thingiverse

I mixed several things together to create this "selfwatering chemical plant planter". I think this is a bit a special planter and not for everybody - maybe for sci-fi fans or similar. There is an hidden pipe from the barrels to the tank for watering. Maximum water in the barrels = maximum in the tank/planter = perfect watering. Because of this the thing can not scale to any size or you really have to keep care about the thickness of the walls and the hidden pipe. I guess some upscaling should be ok, but should not downscale. Try it out. Not sure if you really need support to print this, but keep the hidden pipe in mind when using support. If you like this crazy thing, please leave a comment so I know there are really people who like things like this - so I maybe make more. I did not print and did not test it yet - just design it for fun. If you print it - please share your make. Thanks to rbross and GarageBay9 for the things. **Update:** I saw the base I using from rbross is a bit broken at the bottom layers. I tried to fix but seems to be the mesh is broken by design in tinkercad. Not possible for me to fix this in tinkercad. So if it does not bother you, you have to take it as is. (Check in the slicer to see what I mean.) It has no impact of the watering. It's only a tiny design failure on the backside.
