Small self watering planter for indoor or outdoor use. The well holds enough water to keep the soil most for a few days between waterings, depending on the type of plant and environment. It's a really simple design for people like me who mostly remember to water the plants, but get busy or forget to do it every day. Please don't mind the droopy green onions in the cover photo. I like to plant the root ends after buying some at the market and they take a bit of time to get healthy again.

I have the parts separated into two stl files. The one labelled as “out” is the body portion and the one labelled as “in” is the pop in bottom that allows the water well to function. I flipped the geometry to the proper print orientation for no supports, so it prints upside down. Please remember to flip it over when placing it in the planter.

PLA will be okay for indoor use that's not in direct sunlight, but I recommend PETG. Perimeters should be set at 2-3, or whatever will print with no infill pattern. 

Happy printing!
