chemical plant planter (selfwatering)

thingiverse

I combined multiple elements to create this unique "selfwatering chemical plant planter". This innovative planter is definitely not for everyone - perhaps it's perfect for science fiction enthusiasts. A hidden pipe connects the barrels to the tank, ensuring that maximum water in the barrels equals maximum water in the tank/planter, resulting in ideal watering conditions. However, this design limitation restricts its scalability, and users must carefully consider wall thickness and pipe diameter when upscaling or downscaling. If you decide to print this unusual planter, keep the hidden pipe in mind when using support material. I'm curious to see if anyone appreciates this quirky creation - please leave a comment if you enjoy it, so I know there's interest in similar designs, which might inspire me to create more. Please note that I haven't printed or tested this design yet - it was created for fun. If you do print it, share your results with me. I'd like to thank rbross and GarageBay9 for their contributions to this project. **Update:** After reviewing the base used from rbross, I noticed a small issue at the bottom layers. Unfortunately, tinkercad's mesh design made it difficult for me to fix this problem. If you print this planter, be aware that there might be some defects on the backside (visible in your slicer). Don't worry - it won't affect watering performance.
