Mason Jar Planter Insert

thingiverse

I stumbled upon some creative designs of planters on Thingiverse, including those with a built-in water reservoir and a jar on top that doubles as a mini greenhouse. I also spotted a few planters that fit snugly into jars, but they simply rested loosely inside, which didn't quite meet my requirements. I wanted something more secure - a planter that could be screwed directly onto the jar. I designed this project using Fusion 360 as my first attempt at creating something, and I hope you'll find it to your liking. My goal was to create a design that fits perfectly into jars from the 'Bonne Maman' brand. To take things further, I plan on developing more models that cater to different jar sizes and shapes, as well as varying planting needs (such as smaller spaces for plants, which can help prevent rapid root growth). To maximize the use of the water reservoir, consider threading thick strings through the holes at the bottom - this will allow the water to be drawn up from deeper below.
