I am gonna show you how I made a self-watering planter for my indoor plant without using any electronics like sensors Arduino, or even a battery. It works on capillary action the irrigation method using this concept is called 'wick irrigation' but I wanted to make it modular and suitable for indoor plants. I started with the design part 2 months before and stopped with that. I was in short of 3D printing materials and was unable to purchase some due to the COVID-19 lockdown. With that small amount of material left with me, I made an automatic hand sanitizer. So the project was stuck at that point.
Some days before, I noticed that many people are setting up indoor plants since they are locked in their homes. So I thought it's time for me to continue with the project. Ease of maintenance and modularity were the key advantages of my design. And I thought it would be helpful to nurture Indoor planting habits among people. So I bought the 3d printing filaments with some money left with me and finally finished it. I am unable to explain the happiness that I had when I finished it and saw the final product.
