Description

This is a self watering planter designed primarily for a Venus Fly Trap but could be used for other plants as well.  It is printed in two parts, an inner liner that can be lifted out and and outer body.  The liner has ribs around the bottom of the container to try to keep roots from winding around the bottom of the planter.  For fly traps, it holds several days worth of water, for other plants that don't care to have wet feet, take care not to fill it too full.

The walls are sized to use a .6mm nozzle which will use no infill aside from some of the flares at the top of the model. It is recommended to use the Arachne perimeter generation to ensure that the wall thickness is made up properly.

No supports are needed, print with the large flat surfaces of each part on the bed. I printed them separately to vary the color of each part.

The pictured model was printed using PLA+, but nearly any filament should work fine.  After the print was complete, I coated the inside of the outer body of the model that was below the water line with a coat of polyurethane to ensure it was water tight.
