My wife liked the shape of Ian's Planter pot and asked me to print it. https://www.printables.com/model/31685-planter-pot Seeing as I over-water and she under-waters, I thought a wicking insert was in order before either of us killed the plant.
I modified Ian's planter slightly in Prusa to plug the bottom hole. Printed with 5 layers top and bottom with 5 parameters. 15% infill @ 215. It held water just fine.
I modeled up this insert in Shapr3d and printed it out. Works quite well and we have not killed the plant yet. You can either water from the top or pull the insert out and add water to the pot itself. There is an internal lip, so lifting the insert out is not difficult. Since it's going inside the pot, there is no need to try and make your print look pretty. I printed it with 25% infill and .2mm layers.
Gcode and 3mf available. Make modifications as needed. I'm printing in my unheated garage and it's currently -17C outside. Only heat in my enclosure is from the bed and printhead. Printed using Paramount3D St Andrews Green PLA [PGRL60107742C]
Special thanks to Ian for inspiring me to take my first steps into CAD.
