Plant pot with water reservoir

thingiverse

I designed a plant pot with an integrated water reservoir compartment to save time and keep my plants healthy. By incorporating the water reservoir tank, I no longer need to frequently water my plants, and the plant roots grow healthily due to excess water draining into the reservoir. When printing this 3D model, your 3D printer will have to extrude lines of plastic between already printed parts from the bottom section as designed. The bottom section is designed in a way that the plastic bridging lines won't fall down during printing. If you experience issues with 3D printing bridging, you may need to fine-tune your 3D printer for optimal results. When fine-tuning your 3D printer for bridging, consider lowering the printing temperature (a temperature between 180 C and 200 C should work well for PLA). Also, tuning your print speed is crucial. During design, I considered your 3D printer's bridging capability. A special design feature was added to support this capability. As a result, your 3D printer will print the plant pot's water reservoir compartment without overhanging excess plastic.
