About this print
A pentagonal self-watering flower pot with a built-in water level indicator that floats down from green to red as the reservoir empties, signalling when water needs to be added. The same body can be scaled down and used as a small jewellery box. The simple geometric form is well suited to metallic paint finishes such as gold or copper. PLA is a practical choice for an indoor decorative pot kept at room temperature, and the smooth faceted surface takes paint with minimal preparation.

- both 90um and 190um looks great as this is simple shape to print, I have used low infill

- sanded looks good in any color of material
