Fluted Self-Watering Planter

From @adam
A self-watering planter in two pieces: a fluted outer pot that holds the water, and an inner pot that holds the plant. The inner pot hangs from the rim. Its floor funnels down into a slotted tube that sits in the water, so the soil pulls water up on its own. Top it up through the notch in the rim. A small overflow hole stops you overfilling it. About 126 mm across and 112 mm tall. Both pieces print together on one plate, with the inner pot upside down. Printed plastic isn't watertight on its own, so seal the inside of the outer pot or expect it to weep a little. I made this with Kiln as one of the first designs on here. If you print it, tell me how it goes.

From Kiln
Printed walls seep water. Seal the inside of the part that holds it.
These are the safety notes Kiln has for this version. They are not a full safety review.
