Necessary materials

- 1 PET Bottle (3 Litres)
- 4 screws (6x1.5/8")
- Screwdriver (or cordless drill)


Thinking about how to recycle 3-liter PET soda bottles and stop throwing them away without using them, it occurred to me to create a system where:

- Do not be invasive with plants
- You can regulate the amount of drops
- Do not compact the soil
- Easy maintenance
- Visually pleasing

Hence the idea of creating a base where it can be anchored to the ground and where the bottle can be quickly removed for any type of maintenance was born.

In my garden it has worked well for me to print it with an infill of 20% and I have tried with PLA and PETG, I would have liked to have printed it in ABS but I don't have the printers suitable for printing with that material.

The prints made with PLA show a slight degradation due to the wear of the material exposed to extreme conditions of the summer sun (34º Celsius), however they are still fully functional.
