Self watering insert for Ikea GRADVIS 15cm flower pot

prusaprinters

I like self watering flower pots, but fully 3D printing them as watertight can be a challenge. I had this IKEA decorative flower pot, and figured I'd try creating an insert that turns it into a self watering pot. Seems to work nicely, and there is no problem if the print is not perfect, as long as it holds together.Included is a FreeCAD file of the project, and two STL files, one for 1.2mm and another for 1.8mm wall thickness. I used the 1.2mm, but if it feels too fragile, use the thicker one. No supports are needed for printing, but you might want to use a brim if you worry about your print bed adhesion.Sadly the green color seems to be discontinued for GRADVIS. Note that this is for the 15cm wide pot, not the smaller 12cm one.  Maybe I will do a 12cm and 6cm variants too to fit all the sizes.If you print this, let me know if you had any issues!
