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.
Very well scripted, filmed and voiced! Kudos

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.
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.
Honestly the best 3d printing video I've watched. Practical and useful prints all
More of this please! 👍🏻 Gardening is so satisfying. Nature is wonderful 😱😃
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 😍
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.
More of these plants and gardening videos please 😍
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
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?
a very nice idea and tutorial 😊
Another great video Mikolas! Will have to post some pictures of all my 3D printed plant pots 🪴
Thanks Steven and please do! :)
Nicely done... this video will probably convince me to buy the mini+...
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.
So many fun projects. Thanks.
the aperitif was delicious, I'm ready for the main course
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
Thanks for sharing these models!
Perfect video. I would watch hours of this content.
Awww, thank you! -Mikolas
Perfect timing , I was just thinking of this! Awesome designs!
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.
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
SUCH A GOOD VIDEO thank u
Awesome prints!
I always use my calibration cubes that I print for every new spool of material as seeding starters! Looks and works great!

Some great ideas for propagating frew its this year.
glad you did this video. i ONLY print for planting.
me encanto!!! i loved!!!
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
made my own hydroponic rack using 3d printing. most efficient shit ever.
Great job 👏🏻
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.
Andreas Spiess has a great video about humidity detectors, some cheap ones can be a health hazard so I recomend being mindful.
Yes, this is awesome!
Nicely done 👍
Great Videos, thanks!
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!!
Very nice thanks Mikolas
Really nice video!
Excellent explaination sir❤❤
Another cool idea is printing a support for a camera to do time-lapses of growing plants!
That's an awesome idea!
informative article Mikolas. Thanks a lot. if possible can you share a link to purchase the grow light strips?
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
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.
Diky, přesně něco takového sem hledal
Great videos bro 👌🏼
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.
OMG THE DOUBLE WINDOW POTS ARE SO COOOOOOOLLLLL 🤭😭❤️🥺❤️😭
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
so gooooddd!!!!
More! More!
thanks for the video
Very good ideas
The last part blew my mind -Tenemos Tecnología- (°o°) -Patrick
Thank you 😊
Really nice video! Now all i need is a 3D printer to do these things xD
hah
Great Video
i printed up a cat grass planter, and it turned out good.
love you prusa
WAAAAAAAAW SO RICH CONTEN I LOVE PRUSA 💖
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
Superb!
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
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.
Fantastic
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...
MASHAALLAH khub valo video
Suddenly i want a bunch of plants now
Mission accomplished :)
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
Finally i know how to convince my wife to let me purchase a 3d printer lmao great work buddy
When will prusa make a 350mm or so build area for large prints? And woupd pursa go with the cube / corexy frame?
Thanks Bruno
I love those Elho-Pots, but they really are very expensive :D
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😂
There's an "infill coaster" on Thingiverse that makes wonderful custom drip trays for plants.
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
U are my hero sir
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.
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.
Awesome
May i ask where did you purchase the growlight Strip from
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.
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.
Great video-- Just curious, how do you keep everything watertight? I've tried similar things in the past, and they all leak, even with 100% Infill
Good question! We're working on an article about that. Infill won't help much in this case, but printing with at least 2-3 perimeters is a good start. -Mikolas
@@Prusa3D Cheers for the reply!! That's good to know :) looking forward to that article :))
link to big roll of uv leds?
Didn't know you were supposed to water the tray🤷♂️. Mom always taught me that this is for excess water to escape
it is. watering plants like that leads to formation of mold and ultimately the plant will die due to the roots being unhealthy
5:30 If you made the dovetails thinner at the back, and wider in the front, you'd only be able to insert them one way, and you wouldnt be able to overpush it the other direction
Any anti cat pots ? :D
I made an oddish pot for my aloe.
what Filament type would you recommend for gardening stuff? PETG?
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?
fantástico
Which material should I use for 3d printing so that it hold water in hydroponics without being warped
Wild... always thought PLA was not watertight...
It's all in settings really, getting strong layer bonds and especially good top and bottom layers, even still, I prefer PETG for most of my projects anyway
