EDIT: I have added a tall planter stl file if you want a version with more soil. I also included a 3 part version with a larger reservoir (note that I have not printed this version, but belive a geofabric layer/hessian should be added over the mesh to ensure the water wicks the greater height - see images for assembly). If printing in parts you can probably save a lot of filament using lightning support for the pyramid (not the other parts or you'll get no wall infill on the pot). Let me know if you try them and how they go!
I modified KENKEN0851's excellent design by adding in a raised mesh to hold the planting medium above a water reservoir.
This version does not leave much depth for planting, so consider what you want to plant (existing root size, or plant seeds) or modify the depth in Blender (or elsewhere).
If I started again I would make/print the mesh and mesh supports as separate pieces so that I could adjust the depth a little (and use about 20g less filament), and probably make the pot deeper overall by 10-20mm, but you can see from the picture that our small plants live (for now)!
Message me if you want help with any of it.
