Roman Pantheon inspired Self-watering planter

I have quite a problem with overwatering so this is my solution for the problem. The area underneath the roof differs from the Pantheon, but the rest is in scale with the real thing.

Don't be discouraged by the long print time. 3 different versions are in that print profile: self-watering (full roof and with hole) and normal planter.

I recommend using marble PLA with 0.2 mm (thickness and point distance) fuzzy skin. It gives it a nice texture and almost completely hides the layer lines.

Planting:

Use clay pebbles as a base layer around 2 cm high. Then plant on top. I used some gravel to fill the porch underneath the roof.

Watering:

Water through the roof or from the side (2 versions). When water goes over the little well and starts filling it, stop watering to prevent spillage. Water once a week or when empty.

I have been using the planter for the better part of a year and had zero leaks.
