Automatic Plant Waterer by Shelduck

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

My grandma had a great tip for keeping the plants watered during the vacations: put a rope in a bucket and let the water flow slowly from the rope to the plant. I thought that's brilliant! I could use that for my office plants!
The design was inspired by a kitchen faucet, symbolising the continuous dripping of water due to a leak. Instead of using pressurised water, the water flows naturally via the rope through the "faucet" and drips onto the plant.
The flow can be adjusted by lowering the rope from the faucet towards the plant or by tightening the knob.
Assembly instructions:
You'll need:
the two printed parts,
1x M10*60 hex bolt
about 1 meter of 16mm rope
A water container with a hole with a minimum diameter of 31mm and a maximum of 40mm
Printing the parts horizontally in a waterproof way will help de effectiveness of the faucet.
Enjoy:)
