This is a remake of my self-watering flower pot that i designed a while ago, as requested by one of my followers. This is one is designed to be more easily printed with a 0.6 and 0.4mm nozzle. It has a thicker shell that can be printed as a solid perimeter with both nozzles without infill. Next to this it's also made to be easier to print all overhangs. The water pipe has an improved shape that looks way better after being printed than the last model.
Inner pot V2: made the border higher so there is more colour.

When using this flowerpot it's important to think about what plant you want to use it for, it's best to use it for a plant that needs alot of water. Don't only use dirt in the pot, as this will suck up way to much water. You should use clay or gel balls, maybe some rocks or grint or something that doesn't suck up water in the bottom of the inner pot. The material you end up using should suck up water at the rate the plant would ideally need it. If it's a plant that doesn't need alot of water you could fill the bottom with stones combined with a thick candle wick or clay etc. This would suck up water more slowly.
As i mentioned before i made this with some input from one of my followers. I'm open to suggestions and tips ;). If you're a plant specialist, don't hesitate to leave a comment with a suggestion. If it's a good idea i might add it to the design !
