Small Plant Pot with Water container

thingiverse

For the new pot see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2307984 or click on remixes. This planter was inspired by Metaldrgn's Self Watering Planter. Since my small print bed limits the design, I created this model in OpenScad to fit two separate parts, which have not yet been test printed. The two parts may need to be glued together to prevent the inner pot from floating. I've also included the model as a single part, but using supports might make it difficult to remove them. The goal is to place wicking material in the base of the inner pot up until the side holes, then add soil and a small plant. The outer pot will provide self-watering for the plant, and if watered from above, the side holes will drain excess water, preventing root drowning. I hope this design is helpful; it's my first model, so I'm sure many improvements can be made.
