Self Watering Planter

This project was inspired by the Biology class's plant project. The project's goal was to observe scarlet runner beans growth and the effects on plants under different stimuli. The problem was that some of the plants were being left unwatered for a weekend and the students would return to a dying plant. This planter should remove the need for constant care of the plant and allow the plant to survive the weekends. The design is inspired by the parallel goods desk planter (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:903411). I did change the design to allow for greater ease of access and cleaning by having the pot screw into the reservoir. To assist with the screwing in and out the top of the pot is knurled for better grip.
