Mario Seed Starter Tray - Self Watering

Boost MeIf you enjoy this model, your support is much appreciated!

Spring has started, so that means it's time to get the greenhouse ready for some fresh veggies! I wanted to do some thing a little fun and different this year, so I decided to make some Mario themed seed starters for getting the plants ready. These pots are self watering, so you don't have to worry about watering them every day.

 

Place a cotton ball or any wicking type material in the bottom part of the small pot. Screw the bottom onto the pot, add some dirt and seed, add a little water to the dirt, and you're ready to go. Make sure the water stays below main pot, so that the wicking material stays wet and keeps your plants happy!

 

When you're ready to transplant, unscrew the bottom of the pot and push up!

 

Update

A profile for a humidity dome has been added. I decided to go with individual domes for each pot after a lot of experimenting. It somehow came out requiring less plastic and print time when printing 6 at a time vs a single dome covering the entire 3x2 tray. I recommend letting the build plate cool before trying to remove as it is only 2 surfaces and single wall. The print speed is turned down a lot to improve clarity.
