In this episode I talk about the 3D-printing process of my smart, self-watering plant pot. You can jump to one of these sections:
0:00 Introduction
2:30 Filament choice
5:37 Print settings
14:35 Slicing and printing
19:14 Post processing
20:27 Change design

If you have no other option for 3D printing, feel free to visit my channel's "About" page to email me. I will try my best to find a solution for you. 😊
This is the second video of my tutorial series on how to build your own “Flaura”, which is my Do-It-Yourself, Open-source project.
Flaura is a smart, self-watering plant pot that comes with the following features:
- 3D printed housing
- Integrated water tank
- Soil moisture measurement
- Automatic watering
- Rechargeable battery
- Arduino Code
- App control and data display
- Push notifications
Consider watching the introductory video, to learn more about the features and my future plans with Flaura: • Flaura - Automatic, Sm...
I will release more step-by-step video tutorials here in the future on how to build such a plant pot yourself. Stay tuned! 😉

Thank you for the project on Thingiverse, and mostly the link to the soil moisture calibration web page, I learn much more on soil moisture measurements with respect to water volumetric in soil 8-)

I have an idea for the scalability of the 3d model. Can you make the mounting parts as a modular part inside of the base area. So separate parts to interchange them with other parts, brands and also to expand the scalability of future upgrades? By doing it this way, users will be able to add their own custom parts and make it a truly scalable open source project. Stronger pumps, 12v and 5v relays, LCD modules, and also mosfets to add growing lights to the plants would be a nice upgrade. The maker community can take over the rest of the build by making this part modular. I've seen a beautiful round LCD screen to add .gifs as a plant emotion for example. By making the parts modular people will be able to print larger pots, and keep the same dimensions of the pieces that are ment for mounting the hardware.

Thats a very good idea! I would really like to enable the community to easily make changes themselves and further develop Flaura and adapt it individually. But I wonder how the separate, modular mounting parts could be attached to the other parts. In principle, mounting holes in the housing parts are then required again, which prevent scalability again

Hi dude, love the project!! It's a really nice and simple design, well done! Any idea on when you will release the app and parts list? Would love to start building these for my plant babies.

I printed this in my resin printer. the large components didn't fit the printbed but sliced them in 4 peices and gleu'ed them toghether. seems to beworking out so far

@@FlauraSmartPlantPot Yeah sure. The parts are in paint now as I use water washable resin so I wanted to separate the water from the resin. But I'll definitely upload once I'm done.

If you want a water tight print, just print normally and soak in polyurethane.

Great idea! did you already try that out? did you repeat the polyurethane baths or was 1 time enough?

Zu kompliziert. Einfach zwei Töpfe ineinander, der obere hat unten Löcher und Dochte, die in das untere Wasserreservoir reichen. Keine Elektronik benötigt. Entsprechende stl gibt es ebenfalls im Netz.

This thing is way over engineered IMO. I'm building a similar plant waterer but I'm just going to use a mini pump with a usb cable, a usb adapter and a wall socket timer to water the plants once (or more) per day.
