2manytoyz shared this project on Thingiverse!
This is my first test of a self watering planter, using a 3D printed platform. The platform sits above the water line, allowing the plant roots to air prune. One part of the platform has a tube that allows a column of dirt to sit in the water. This wicks up the water, and keep the dirt moist, without over-watering the plant.
The other hole in the platform is for a piece of 3/4″ PVC. This will be used to put water in the bottom of the planter, while not soaking the soil.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
