Parametric plant watering bulb/funnel (vase mode)

I've included some pre-made STL files. If you don't see the size you need, please message me/comment and I will add it.

Print in vase mode, upside down:

I printed with no bottom, leaving the top open (like a funnel). You could also print a bottom layer to make this enclosed as a self-watering ‘bulb’.

I printed these in PLA with a 0.8mm nozzle, but they will work with any nozzle as long as you change the line width accordingly.

For taller prints, use a brim to keep the print steady when printing the narrow spout.

Using the pre-made files

The files are named as follows:

{Line Width}_{Spout Size}_{Bulb Size}

Line Width

The first number is the line width you need to set in the slicer. 

For example, the file 1mm_Line_3x15_Spout_20x25_Bulb is designed to be printed with a line width of 1mm.

Spout

This is the size of the spout (the long tube that sits in the soil).

The first number is the width of the opening at the bottom, the second is the length of the spout.

The wider the opening, the quicker the water will drain.

For example, the file 1mm_Line_3x15_Spout_20x25_Bulb has a spout with a 3mm opening at the bottom, and the spout is 15mm long.

Bulb

This is the size of the bulb/water reservoir on the top.

For example, the file 1mm_Line_3x15_Spout_20x25_Bulb has a 20mm wide bulb that is 25mm long.

Creating your own in Fusion 360

The Fusion 360 file has the following parameters:

The model will automatically generate a 120° funnel/chamfer  between the spout and the bulb, to make it printable in vase mode.
