Description

A three-size self-watering planter set: a fluted outer reservoir and a planter insert with a wick channel; the plant draws water up as it needs it, so you water far less often. Sizes Ø80, Ø110 and Ø140 mm.

How it works

Water sits in the reservoir up to the bottom of the soil cone
The slotted wick tube (with an optional cotton-rope hole) reaches 3 mm above the reservoir floor and wicks water into the soil
Top up through the fill notch in the flange; no need to lift the plant

What's included (6 models, STL + 3MF + plates)

Size	Reservoir	Assembled height	Water	Soil
Ø80 mm	80 × 80 × 69 mm	71.4 mm	~65 ml	~92 ml
Ø110 mm	110 × 110 × 95 mm	97.4 mm	~176 ml	~260 ml
Ø140 mm	140 × 140 × 120 mm	122.4 mm	~365 ml	~550 ml

Print settings

Reservoir upright, insert upside-down as supplied; no supports
PETG recommended for the reservoir (3–4 walls, 5 top/bottom layers); test with water before use, as FDM prints can weep
