Mini Soil-Based Water Dish
Reliable and practical solution for your small animals.
Printing recommendations & Assembly
I recommend to print in PLA, PETG, or a combination of both.
For example, you can use PLA for the cup and PETG for the dispenser, especially if it will be placed outdoors.
The project consists of two parts:
- The water dispenser
- Cup (optional)
No assembly is required. Simply remove the supports and press the dispenser directly into the soil 🔽
Dimension & Scaling
- Dispenser
Capacity: 2.2 cl ≈ 1.5–2 tablespoons
Size: 80 × 80 × 40 mm (spikes: 33 mm)
- CUP
Capacity: 6 cl ≈ 4 tablespoons
Size: 59 × 59 × 43 mm
Maintenance
This container requires no maintenance other than refilling the water, depending on your pet's needs.
For example, I refill it once a week for my hibernating turtles.
