3D model description

#PLANTERSXCULTS

This is a self-watering planter with a cute cactus hugging it.
The eyes of the cactus indicates the water level.
If the eyes are open there is enough water inside, if they are closed then you have to add more water.

I uploaded single material files (.stl) and multi material files (.3mf) for the cactus and indicator.

For this design you need some super glue.

You need to print the parts watertight!
With a well tuned printing profile this should be no problem.
If your parts are not watertight - dont worry, you can coat the insides with a thin layer of clear coat.

Make sure you apply enough glue around the hole in the plant container,
as this hole connects to the cactus and allows the water to flow through.
