I really liked the design and idea behind Lorro's Mesh Fabric Air Pot, so I modified my pot design to incorporate the pattern. This version will have the same root pruning benefits and can be used either by itself or with one of my existing frame designs. In case you don't want to print one of my pot frames, I have included my two water trays here as well.

All of Lorro's mesh pots will sit nicely in the trays, so please check out his models as well.

Enjoy!

Instructions for Scaling Water Trays

If you want a water tray that is narrower or larger, simply follow these steps.

Upload model into PrusaSlicer, and make sure the part is selected
On the right side under “Object Manipulation” click the lock icon by “Scale factors” so that it is UNLOCKED
Change the X & Y values to alter the width of the tray, and change the Z value to alter the height

To maintain symmetry, change the X & Y values to the same one. Keep in mind that making the Z value smaller will thin out the bottom of the tray.
