Self Watering Conversion Kit (Ø 10 cm & Ø 12 cm)

I have some self watering pots that I purchased from the store, but I wanted some nerdy, 3D-printed designs with the benefits of a self watering system. So I made my own with some Base Negative Forms as tools to turn anything into a recipient for my new system. 

I was about to post a self watering Bulbasaur pot, but then I thought: why not releasing the new system instead?

So here it is, my Self-Watering Conversion Kit! Turn ANYTHING into a self-watering pot. A Bulbasaur? No problem. The Death Star? Easy. The Rock's head? You got it!

Includes:

• Base Negative Form for Ø 10 cm
• Base Negative Form for Ø 12 cm

You'll need the matching pot from my Self Watering System:

• Self-Watering Pot Ø 12 cm (Pot Vase, Bottom & Water Level)
• Self-Watering Pot Ø 10 cm (Pot Vase, Bottom & Water Level)

How to turn anything into a self-watering pot:

• Open the object you'd like to turn into the Base on Windows 3D Builder   (1).
• Import (copy&paste or drag) the Base Negative Form for your desired diameter, and move it to the position you would like the pot to sit. There is a mark that shows the height of the Pot Vase   (2).
• Click on “Substract” and save   (3).
• Done   (4)!

You just need to print your new vase, and the Self Watering Pot option that matches the diameter of your choice. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!

Important: make sure the Base is watertight by increasing the print walls and layers or sealing it with epoxy. 

Note: you can always use the Base Negative Forms to create recipients for your own regular Ø 10 cm or Ø 12 cm pots. The Base Negative Forms produce a circular emboss (1 cm high) to prevent overflooding in case of using a regular pot.
