Here is my simple self watering / hydroponic pot which uses the bottom from a 2L drinks bottle as I have been having problems getting my prints to come out truly watertight.

Note: The files here are sized with no clearance so that you can scale them to fit your required bottle size.

Measure your plastic bottle.
The STLs are sized for 100mm diameter bottles to make scaling easier.
- Reservoir - Set the X and Y axis scale factor to match the outer diameter of your bottle. For example - for a 98mm diameter bottle you would set the scale to 98%
- Pot - Set the X and Y axis scale factor to match the inner diameter of your bottle and allow a bit for clearance.

The pot is designed to use capillary matting as a wick and I have used this to great success to grow lettuce and other leaf crops.
