Self-Watering Planter with Stop Valve

A more refined self-watering flowerpot facilitates effortless removal of a cola bottle for water replenishment without the concern of residual water leakage. It proves particularly suitable for carnivorous plants, with all components printable, eliminating the need for additional purchases. For conventional plants, the riser can be detached to attain a lower water level.

Updates:

1. The spring material has been modified to PC. The original PETG spring exhibited a significant loss of elasticity after prolonged submersion in water under compression. The PC material has undergone rigorous testing for 48 hours without any discernible decline in elasticity.
2. The diameter of the water stop valve has been augmented, anticipated to result in smoother water flow.

Update on November 13, 2024:

1. Refrain from employing transparent PETG for printing due to its propensity for leakage.
2. Dimensional adjustments have been implemented for select components, streamlining assembly and mitigating the likelihood of leaks.
