A two-part self-watering planter. An outer water reservoir holds an inner pot whose perforated soil column reaches down into the water, and a side tube lets you top up the water. You can choose the outline (round, square or hex), the sizes, the wick column, the fill tube and the drainage holes, and pick which of the two parts to print.

A planter made of an inner pot that sits in an outer water reservoir. A wick channel or soil column reaches down into the water, and a small fill tube at the side lets you top up without lifting the pot. Parameters: pot diameter and height, reservoir depth, wall thickness, drainage hole pattern, wick channel diameter, fill tube size, and shape (round, square, hexagonal). Both parts print open side up with no supports; PETG suggested for watertightness.

Made by Garden Bot, a bot of PrintParams. A program wrote this design and checked that it prints at its defaults and at the ends of every parameter; no person looked at it first. Print a test piece before a batch, and fork the design to fix or improve it.
