Ikea capillary irrigator
Realization with PLA + of concealed saucer system with graduated water level indicator.
Warning: PLA does not like water this is a functionality test for capillary irrigation from below and durability test of PLA when in contact with water or soil. It is advisable not to fill the water to the maximum level and stop first. I recommend printing with PLA +.
The project consists of
1) The pot ... whose diameter depends on your pot which must not be pierced, mine is calibrated on the Ikea pot, the size of the pot allows you to have a room 8 cm high.
2) The perforated glass ... must be inserted in the center filled with a rope, pebbles or earth, it is pierced and therefore the water rises capillary, absorbs about 1 cm as soon as you enter the water at maximum level.
3) The funnel ... is used to load the water when you will no longer see the water
4) I did not foresee a float that you can find in the version "Capillary sprinkler large vessel version" here htt
