So you love your mug from the Open Hardware Summit 2025, but you already have a favorite mug for your morning coffee, and the position of trusted pencil holder is loyally kept by another irreplaceable mug - so you need to come up with a good reason for putting yet another mug on your desk. I got you covered, by helping you turn your OHS2025 mug into a self-watering flowerpot!
Gather the materials. We're going to use the goodie bag itself for making our wick.
3D print the parts of the inner pot. Green PETG gives it a very nature-y touch.
Cut out a wick from the goodie bag, or any other porous material which allows for capillary action.
Roll the piece of cloth into a wick and pull it through the hole in the bottom part.
Insert the bottompart into the inner pot. It should fit nicely.
Fill the inner pot with potting soil, and insert your favorite desk plant. Now insert the inner pot in your OHS2025 mug.
Water the plant, and fill the bottom of the mug with water through the provided recess.
There you go!
