SKADIS / SKÅDIS Self-Watering Planter
Vertical farming, but with a twist of IKEA
Out of space? Are your seedlings ready to be potted? No problem!
This is a two piece design, consisting of:
- Soil inlay, with built-in sub-irrigated bottom, with holes to draw in water for the soil
- Outer shell, with SKADIS compatible hooks, to mount it on any SKADIS module!
How does it work?:
The sub-irrigated part of the inlay, allows the soil to have a capillary water supply, where wicking holes allow water to enter the soil, without overwatering.
The surface water fill hole allows for easy topping off to the inner water supply, which should just be filled up inside until it reaches about 5 cm above the bottom.
Printing Guide
- Walls: 3+
- Infill: 15% Gyroid
- Support: Inlay (not needed), Outer shell (Yes, to make sure the hooks print correctly)
Important!
This is a prototype, and I initially only designed this for personal use for my spring onion, and also some chili plants that I've been wanting to plant vertically in my living room, and the setup works very well for me specifically. This means that it's not guaranteed to be a solution for all types of plants, especially plants that need periods of drought.
Feel free to ask any questions, or comment any problems with the files, and I'll be quick to make adjustments if needed!
