I wanted something to continually water a pepper plants I bought recently. After seeing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4506595 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3954510 I decided to design my own version. Designed to print in vase mode, You should adjust the parameters in the FreeCAD file to fit your planter/bottle combination. The STL provided is for 28mm bottle opening, 110mm planter bottom diameter, 0.8mm wall thickness (external perimeter extrusion width), 4 bottom layers, 0.3mm layer height. 3h print, about $1.. For proper slicing of planters supports you need to adjust "Print settings/Advanced/Slice gap closing radius" to 0.005mm (this is for PrusaSlicer, no idea where is in the other slicers). I printed these in PLA but should work with any filament. For water tightness cover the resulting gaps with nail polish top coat.
