Parts
- 1x boba (bubble) tea plastic straw (~11.6-11.7mm outer diameter)
- 1x regular plastic straw
- scissors
- pliers
- a lighter
- a permanent marker
Assembly
- Print the water indicator (to prevent the straw from being touched).
- Optionally print the end cap, if the bottom of the pot is uneven or the inner straw catches.
- Cut boba straw to depth of pot, plus a little more. Add bottom cap.
- Cut inner straw to same size (if you can't see the straw, time to water) or a little more (if you want two indicators)
- While holding the inner straw end closed with pliers, lightly melt with flame of lighter. Give it a quick pinch with the pliers while still hot for a crimp seal.
- Test fit the straws in the pot and mark the maximum height the straw should float.
