Took the original model and scaled it up 150%. Sits at 22" Dia. is made to have a network of pipe-cleaners to act as a self-watering/self-draining pipe into a bowl located in the plant hanger via capillary action and gravity, it's theoretical but I am confident it will work. Also provided files for mounting light fixtures with a 1/2" npt thread fitting. this will most likely take you a month to print and $100 of filament. It's a commitment! Also provided my working solidworks files; do note that i had to rework the outer ring parts Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Pursa Mendel Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .15/.2 /.3(any works and i went through a lot of setting changes during the course of rpinting) Infill: 17% (go as low as you can!) Notes: no supports would be needed. i used PLA Post-Printing Assembly note the holes are for screws. to thread for PLA(if you dont have taps), chamfer the hole wth a large bit (by hand) then heat up the screw till it is hot, but note hot enough to burn your lips, then slowly screw it in while applying pressure. NOTE: screwing in too fast will cause it to heat up and before the surrounding plastic. everything should side together, hammer if necassary. to see assembly steps, refer to what this was remixed from
