Just want to give you a heads-up on the IoT project in your video where you use a soil-meter. Those sensors corrode away quite fast, a very good upgrade to this is a capacitive soil sensor. They will last a whole lot longer. I hope you find this useful. I enjoyed your video.
Finally! Now I can print a pot for my Pot!
Wonderful and solid use cases. Well explained and a good pace too. I’ll be following these examples with this Spring’s gardening and into Winter this year.
More of this please! 👍🏻 Gardening is so satisfying. Nature is wonderful 😱😃
Honestly the best 3d printing video I've watched. Practical and useful prints all
a very nice idea and tutorial 😊
YEEEs thank god someone finally made a video on this. ive been using my 3d printed pots for my DWC grow. crazy effective, cheap, and easy to make.
these awesome ideas make me want to persevere with 3d printing, not just for me but for my friends who love gardening and growing plants 😍
More of these plants and gardening videos please 😍
Honestly, I have never seen these "double windows" before :D
In österreichischen alt Bauten und anderen Ost europäischen Ländern sind die Gang und gäbe
Wait you guys dont have double windows???
@@youradvertisehere Im Osten war ich nur einmal (Prag) und da hab ich weder im Hotel noch in einem der Clubs/Bars sowas gesehen haha.danke für die Info, wieder was gelernt
@@zipu In Canada we use double to triple pane windows so they don't waste space
@@joshstainton8207 it isnt as common to have interior windowsills here, thats probably why we have a space between the windows. I checked, and we have a double window, some space, for blinds inbetween (yea our blinds are inbetween the windows), and a singular window. So i guess we have triple windows too.
Very well scripted, filmed and voiced! Excelent
It feels like this video was made for my Soul!
BLESS YOUR MYSTERIOUS HEART, ALGORYTHM.
Thank you for this great insightful presentation. Keep up your good work!
Excellent video. It’s got me excited for the grow season
Another great video Mikolas! Will have to post some pictures of all my 3D printed plant pots 🪴
Thanks Steven and please do! :)
So many fun projects. Thanks.

very nice video really. Actually my 3d printing started in My Garden ( I wanted to make an electro motorized valve to water the plants - so I bought my first 3d printer.
Nicely done... this video will probably convince me to buy the mini+...
Thanks for sharing these models!
I've actually done that. I print pots and net cups, and avocado boats. However the net cups can be cheaper to buy than to print.
yeah but I can't buy net cups with funny quotes or Plants vs Zombies images embossed in them !
@@Tertion very good point.
Perfect timing , I was just thinking of this!
Awesome designs!
This is great, I have printed a self watering pot for the first time the other day. On a side note, do not use cyanoacrilate (super glue) to bond something that will be exposed to water. Super glue bonds instantly in the presence of moisture (think fingers), however the bond is also weakened by moisture or water. This is why the msds will state that if you bond your skin you need to run it under luke warm water in order to get, say, your fingers unstuck.
So what do you recommend?
the aperitif was delicious, I'm ready for the main course
SUCH A GOOD VIDEO thank u
You're actively pushing me into trying my hand at smart gardening, or gardening in general!
nah, he also did not try to turn us into furries or RC car enthusiasts. (from the last few episodes)
Wait, i already bought the RC car. 🙈😂 now for downloading the new .stl files
Perfect video. I would watch hours of this content.
Awww, thank you! -Mikolas
me encanto!!! i loved!!!
Some great ideas for propagating frew its this year.
Andreas Spiess has a great video about humidity detectors, some cheap ones can be a health hazard so I recomend being mindful.
Awesome prints!
I always use my calibration cubes that I print for every new spool of material as seeding starters! Looks and works great!
4:28 is exactly what I did the past few days for our tomatoes. Including making the signs in a colour according to the tomatoes
My wife has a couple self-watering pots... They're injection-molded. I don't think that is new either. Honestly the impossible-to-mold designs and custom things that can be one of a kind are most interesting. And DIY in general.
Yes, this is awesome!
glad you did this video. i ONLY print for planting.
Great job 👏🏻
Really nice video!
Wow, this video is perfect for me. My girlfriend was asking about printing some smarter pots for the plants. Now, I don't have any excuse :D
Nicely done 👍
Great Videos, thanks!
made my own hydroponic rack using 3d printing. most efficient shit ever.
Excellent explaination sir❤❤
Diky, přesně něco takového sem hledal
Very nice thanks Mikolas
I recognised the view from the window. The guy lives in the same building I used to live 7 years ago. Czech Republic is super small =D
Thank you 😊
so gooooddd!!!!
informative article Mikolas. Thanks a lot. if possible can you share a link to purchase the grow light strips?
Another cool idea is printing a support for a camera to do time-lapses of growing plants!
That's an awesome idea!
More! More!
I LOVE this video!!! I am excited to start trying everything soon. Just had a question - where did you get your LED light strip? Do you have a brand you love? Thanks!!
thanks for the video
Great videos bro 👌🏼
Great video! I would never use one of those $1 water sensors though. They corrode to the point of failure within just a few days. Pick up a "Capacitive Soil Sensor" instead, and you'll have something that lasts for many years.
This sensor is from a project over 5 years old and still works fine. But yeah, the capacitive soil sensors are much better and it's what I've been using for newer projects :) If for nothing else, it's nice that they can send out digital output rather than just analog signal. -Mikolas
is it possible to print the plant pots with lots of small holes on the side? would be great for propagation to keep the plants from rootballing.
Thanks for taking the time to show us all of this. I am new to printing and I don't know what the best filament to use when using a LED light so it doesn't break down. So please let me know what it would be.
If you are asking what type of plastic to use when exposed to LED lights, then anything is fine, PLA is the easiest(but it deteorates under UV from the sun[BTW, glass blocks most UV], so use something different if you are gonna use it outside longterm). If you are want to stick the LEDs to the plastic, use plastic with higher glass transition tempeture, like ABS/ASA or better, but word of warning: these plastics are hard to print, since they like to warp and deform while printing(sometimes they deform so much that they seperate from the heatedbed), so if you can, use metal extrusion of somekind, it even cools down the LEDs so they last longer. Hope this helps.
i printed up a cat grass planter, and it turned out good.
Thanks Bruno
Superb!
love you prusa
Very good ideas
Sure would be cool to have a large format 3D printer to make planters for larger plants. I wonder if we will hear any news about that soon.
Prusa XL is available for preorder now.
OMG THE DOUBLE WINDOW POTS ARE SO COOOOOOOLLLLL 🤭😭❤️🥺❤️😭
WAAAAAAAAW SO RICH CONTEN I LOVE PRUSA 💖
I will be using this video for Increased Wife Approval Factor of my addiction - I mean hobby 😉
Print her a dong and get back to your projects
Good thing my BF and I both like printing. Never any argument about buying filament or printer parts, just who gets to use the printer next, maybe! :P
Thought the same😂
The last part blew my mind
-Tenemos Tecnología- (°o°) -Patrick
You need to do "casts" that can open and close, and be shaped in Y, L, and other useful shapes, and then use them to bend and train your plant stems in the desired way, that's useful. The rest are just pots printed in plastic...
U are my hero sir
When will prusa make a 350mm or so build area for large prints? And woupd pursa go with the cube / corexy frame?
Great Video
link to big roll of uv leds?
0:42 - plant tray with water bottle. That looks like a great "jack of all trades" for different pots, but I can't seem to find the STL on any page.
What would you call it?
Would like a threaded connection.
Sooo good, but could you make some more-affordable 3d printer? Some people (not me personally) want to start 3d printing, but they cant or dont want to spend that much money, so they rather buy the Creality ender 3. So this is my idea how to make your bussiness even bigger. Thanks for people like you
Really nice video! Now all i need is a 3D printer to do these things xD
hah
Fantastic
May i ask where did you purchase the growlight Strip from
Finally i know how to convince my wife to let me purchase a 3d printer lmao great work buddy
what Filament type would you recommend for gardening stuff? PETG?
MASHAALLAH khub valo video
Have you had plants die when pinned between the inner window and the storm window? There are plants that won’t get enough CO2 in there between watering.
Theres a really cool Aeroponics pot from Syk3DGrow on My Mini Factory you can print too. That thing is great for taking your growing into the future.
:0! I'll have to find the file
@@KeruuKat you can get it for free now on Prusa Printers
Im curious what material they are using. If your plants are in direct sunlight then the PLA will definitely embrittle and warp/deform from the UV and temperature exposure. PLA is also biodegradable which does not bode well for being used as a water tank. That being said, I really like the idea of a lot of these designs and their flexibility/creativity. I hope they have appropriate materials available.
I see what you mean, but in reality, even PLA will likely work fine for many years. I've printed most of my pots from PLA, some from PETG. For example, the self-watering one from PLA has been behind my window for over a year and a half without any sign of degradation. Only time will tell though :)
I'm worried about the same - Top of that; do we know if plants collect microplastic or other components from the PLA?
do you have to buy water resistant filament or will pla be fine
Which material should I use for 3d printing so that it hold water in hydroponics without being warped
This is really well done! Question: how do you get your 3D printed parts water tight? I know there's a lot of methods out there but curious if there's a more elegant solution to brushing a layer of epoxy on the inside
Most of the prints in the video turned out to be perfectly watertight with the default settings in PrusaSlicer. The walls of the models are usually at least a few perimeters wide. With that said, it is quite an interesting topic and some materials can be tricky to get watertight. We'll most likely create a standalone article/video on the topic of watertight printing. -Mikolas
@@Prusa3D that would be awesome. Thanks for the reply!
@@kewl201 I saw a video the other day where essentially it's a combination of correctly leveling your bed, correct wall thickness, bead height and print speed. You don't want a perfectly round bead according to the video you want it to be more oval shaped as it's been flattened a little bit giving more surface to stick together with the hot plastic. At least that's the way I interpreted it. I think it was on the Maker's Muse channel. I could be mistaken I've been watching a lot of videos since I got my printer recently
Is there a How-To to print pots waterprof, I tried in the past some vase and mostley they are not waterprof. I find this very interessting.
I read somewhre that prints with PETG should be watertight, but not yet tested myself.
What filament is used for items that needs to hold water like this?
Awesome
what kind of filament do you use for this which will be exposed to the sunlight?
There's an "infill coaster" on Thingiverse that makes wonderful custom drip trays for plants.
Suddenly i want a bunch of plants now
Mission accomplished :)
Great video. I was wondering if there is some special filament that is maybe biodegradable? Probably not but maybe there is.
I read that Polyterra by Polymaker is supposedly biodegradable.
Im not sure if anyone will see this. I grow mints and they always grow crazy fast and act all dominant, to counter this. Is there a hydro pot that take only one seed? Something low powered and can put high up? I want them to wide and strong for when i harvest them
Great idea again , Mikolas problem with links from floater 2 to honeycomb !! same links..!!
Good catch, fixed :)
@@Prusa3D well fast fixed ;-)
@@Prusa3D oups still same issue on Propagation ...& seed... by the way at 0:37 any good links to do this smart planters
project ? thx
What types of filament are best for pots? PLA seemed to deform for me, but may have been the summer sun...
PETG might hold better, and has more favorable traits to help seal out (or in) water when printed right, though depending on how hot the spot your placing it is even PETG has limits
Does filament type matter when it comes to planters? What do most people tend to favor? PETG?
PETG has good bonding characteristics and is waterproof in most cases.
Yes. Most plastics are not UV resistant. Not sure which ones are. PC? Otherwise they need a UV protective spray coating if they will be outside
What material was used for these prints? The water does not pass through the pla?
Good video
