Self watering plant pot with water indicator For plant pots with 90mm diameter. For the inner pot use a standard plant pot or a PET bottle to save filament and energy. The water supply should last for one week or longer. Do not leave the inner pot in the water. Use a wick for irrigation. Simple design for easy printing and easy cleaning. Without integrated spacer. Therefore, easy to clean. Maximum water level 40 to 50 mm. Dark colors prevent algae formation. Use a wick so that the plant does not drown (10cm nylon cord or similar). Use different spacers for different height pots. Print the indicator in hollow so that it can swim. Thomas golden rules to print watertight: Prints at least 3 outer layers (better more). Prints at least 3 layers of soil (better more). Increase the filament temperature by 5 degrees Celsius. Reduce the print speed by 20 to 50%. Increase the flow by at least 10%. Check the minimum of 3 wall thicknesses in the slicer - always - everywhere. In the upper area where there is no water, you can cancel these changes.
