Parametric Self Watering Planter w/ Water Level Indicator

O modelu

This is a parametric planter with a vented, self-watering reservoir and water level indicator. I designed this in Fusion 360 and have included STLs for a 4", cylindrical version with interchangeable smooth, fluted, and knurled variants in the correct orientation for printing (please follow the detailed printing instructions below). If you want to make other sizes, shapes, or configurations, the Fusion 360 projects have the appropriate parameters favorited, with comments explaining their use. Each file includes two projects (a base planter and the derived planter), so they must be uploaded first, because they will fail to open locally in Fusion 360: • Fluted_Planter.f3d - Fluted Planter.f3z - Varying these parameters can get looks ranging from Roman columns, to steampunk gears, or even ice cream confections (like the yellow and pink planter in the picture). • Knurled_Planter.f3d - This style is great for shiny filaments and hiding seams. The golden pineapple pot from the picture is an example of extremely chunky knurling parameters. Warning: very fine knurling can take a loooong time to compute, slice, and render (e.g. 3mm knurl_spacing took ~20 minutes for Fusion 360 to apply, and it appeared to hang while processing, but it looked awesome when it finished). • Smooth_Planter.f3d - This one just lets you increase the outside wall thickness, in case you want a chunky style, or to get the right thickness to pair with the other styles. Print instructions Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Filament: PLA Notes: The Common Parts required for every planter are the: drain, float, and float_cap. You can then pick a base and pot from the Fluted Planter, Knurled Planter, or Smooth Planter folders. You can mix and match the pots and bases to get a different look (as some of the pictures show). The float needs the following settings for a 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle, to ensure that it is sufficiently light and strong: • 0.65mm perimeter extrusion width
