Tired of seeing your aromatic plants die? With this low-tech automatic watering pot, no more worries !

It is designed to accomodate a standard Ø11cm, h9cm aromatic pot and keep it alive. For the water supply, any empty jar less than 8cm in diameter will do. Just punch a few holes in the centre of the lid with a nail and hammer, fill it with water and insert it upside-down in the watertank slot. The system will ensure 1cm of water at the bottom of the plant slot, all you have to do is make sure the water tank isn't empty :)

As a bonus, I made three variants of the model : 

  • Simple pot with smiling face
  • Simple pot without face
  • Double pot without face

Print settings I used : PLA, 0.2mm layers height, minimum 4 walls, 15% infill, supports “everywhere”.

Printing time : about 8h on Prusa MK4.
