Hydroponic system with bottle feeder

Please consider clicking the "I made one" button and sharing pictures of your print, because I'd love to see how it turns out. If you like my work, give me a thumbs up - it really means a lot to me. Work in progress / print at your own risk! 1- Germination: Fill water until the conical portion in the fill hole is covered with water. 2-Growing: When roots are long enough, you can add water and nutrients. Water will self-level around 6mm under the pot, so only the roots are touching the water. Walls are thick to prevent leakages and light from getting in. Be prepared - it's a long print (15 hours with my settings). The bottle thread is PCO1881. Choose wisely when selecting the filament type (PLA will decay). This 3D printed pot has a 50mm diameter and 60mm height, designed for rock wool or clay pebbles. It might be a good idea to use black filament and paint the bottle black to prevent algae growth in the water. *It can also be used with some soil (without the pots). I'm not a gardener at all - I just had this idea while watching "Jeb Gardener's" videos on YouTube. If you don't know him, you should definitely check out his channel - it's awesome!
