Hi friend! I tried printing one but water leaked out the filament of mine. How is you tower doing? Are you going to publish the 3d files in your website? Id love to compare yours with mine. Regards from Brazil!!

I’ve built 2 of these so far. Both just under 2 meters tall with bucket. I’ve never had a leak. I recommend you use PETG and at least 40%-60% infill. And 80% for the base. PETG does have to print a little slower but the time was far better with the second one I built after changing to a 0.6mm nozzle.

I have not had any issues with these leaking. If it is outside and you are not losing water at a high rate, I wouldn't worry too much. You could always let them dry out and then fill the cracks with CA glue or use a 3d pen to fill the cracks. I have used silicone caulk too. The real issue is probably with the printer/slicer settings though. Do you have a picture of the print? I printed these with PETG filament because it would be outside. I used a 1mm nozzle and a 0.4mm layer height. I don't usually go over 20% infill because the walls are plenty thick. The design is not mine and the link I have from the readme file is a 404 on thingiverse now. I guess I could re-post them.

I agree on the bigger nozzle. I use a 1mm for large objects like these. I also use a 0.4 layer height. It makes a huge difference on time and you can see the lines but it doesn't matter when the plants start growing.
