Corky is a curious 3D printed planter, which with pieces of corks makes it unique: both for being able to pin notes on it and for its super absorbent tray.
To assemble it you just have to print the body and the tray, which have grooves so you can put the cork pieces you cut (surely you have at home from a bottle of wine, and if not it's time not to throw them away and give life to Corky with them) You can cut them with a simple cutter. There are grooves of different sizes to ensure that there is room for different sizes of cork. Some are inserted and will stay in place, for others you will need to use some glue.
Cork is very absorbent, so if you match the holes in the body with the corks in the tray you won't have water leaks and you can water your plants with peace of mind :)
You can use it directly as a planter or insert standard plastic pots (12 cm diameter x 11 cm height maximum size)
Has it ever happened to you that you don't remember if you have already watered your plant or not, or that you are going to leave it in the hands of someone who doesn't know what plant it is and how many times it has to be watered? Corky and its integrated notes have the solution, you can put notes of what you want and improve your relationship with your plant!

3D PRINTING SETTINGS For the body (corky) and tray (corky_s) it is recommended to be printed following these parameters:
-Fill: > 20% -Fill: > 20% -Fill: > 20% -Fill: > 20% -Fill: > 20%
-Can be printed without support but you can activate it for body holes.
-Without adhesion
-Layer height: 0.2 mm
-Top layers 4
-Lower layers 4
-Wall line count: 3
-Nozzle size: 0.4 mm
-Nozzle temperature: 200ºC
-Shrinkage: Yes
*To increase the tightness increase the number of walls, decrease the printing speed and increase the layer height.
