Description

PDF

This is a small planter for herbs or small flowers.

It uses a wick out of wool or special watering wick cords of cotten which are cheap to buy online.

 

First you have to put the wick sword in the bottom of the plant.
Then just screw the planter on top of a cleaned glas for pickels.

 

By now i have 2 designs compatible with glasses with an outer diameter of ~80mm.

  • Clean design: no opening for watering, less filament needed (~50g) 
  • Rolling design:  additional opening for watering without disasembly

 

When filled with water it can run up to 4 weeks.

 

Here is a small table for which plants this works fine:

If you want to have more designs, or other sizes ask for them in the comments.

I will try tohelp you!

 

In the future i want to add a design for these giant pickle glasses, and one for nutella glasses.

 

Print instructions:

The design don´t need supports, or anything special.

For me PLA with the Prusa standard propertys and 0,2 mm layer hight worked fine.

I used down to 10% infill to safe filament.

 

Happy printing!
