I made this contraption to allow me to slowly water plants without having to spray or drip water on the surface. It acts as a delayed watering system, it dispenses water below the soil surface directly(or closer at any rate) to the roots of the plants, reducing water loss from evaporation and drainage.The flow rate is now controlled by 5 flow restriction inserts that can be modified and printed separately from of the spike cap to allow me play with/ adjust the flow rate without having to reprint the entire thing each time.I also created a printable bottle so I would have a 'marginally' less unsightly bottle compared to the 'Simply' brand of juice bottle I was using before. It holds just over 1 liter.My Print Settings/Suggestions: (Your mileage may vary) Printed at 0.12 mm layer height The small 0.015" holes may not print if your layers are too thick. 0.04 mm nozzlePrint with spikes facing upward (no supports required) I printed in both matte PLA and black ABSABS is
