Summary

I wanted to make a self watering seed starter for my hydroponics setup.

Designed to hold a water bottle and 6 grodan rock wool cubes.

Water bottle threading and seal needs improvement (read this is not a threaded hole). I set the water bottle hole diameter to be equal to (ID+OD)/2. Then after printing I used a heat gun to soften the hole and screwed in the water bottle. Still required a bit of ptfe tape to help get a good seal.

Uploading all my files, so feel free to make the hole a threaded hole instead of a poor press fit.

Working on v2. Goal is to reduce the amount of material used, have a better threaded hole solution for water bottle threads and, to make the finger recesses better suited for removing rockwool cubes.
