Passive self-watering 3D-printable floating vegetable pot, inspired by the chinampa (floating garden bed).
The models have been successfully printed in Natural PLA on a Prusa Mk3S+ using a 0.4mm nozzle with an upgraded part cooling duct (See https://www.printables.com/model/906613-highv-part-cooling-duct-for-prusa-i3-mk3s)
The models have been successfully printed using the following profile with "vase mode" enabled. Note that the profile is for a 0.8 mm nozzle, but have been physically tested on a 0.4 mm nozzle.
