This was a relatively quick project I built to solve a real-life problem I have. I have planters that are nailed into the top of my 6’ fence. This makes watering the plants very difficult without giving everyone on the sidewalk an involuntary shower. My solution was to create inserts for the planter bed that can be easily removed to make watering easier, along with allowing for rearranging.
The project includes full and half size inserts, with full and half size aeration trays. Both sizes are identical except for the width, and all feature water drainage holes and grooves.
Dealing with the usual challenges of Onshape constraints and dimensions was a joy as always, but eventually I used a system of midpoint lines to create a scalable grid for water drainage holes.

Planter Dividers Devlog #2- I have added the half size version! I updated the full size to use a grid created by lines and midpoints for the water drainage holes, so that if it is resized, the water hole grid will not be messed up. I also created a half and full size aeration tray for plants that need more water drainage. I used a similar method for creating the grid, so creating the half size was as easy as changing the dimensions of the original sketch and deleting half of the squares. This project is pretty much done and I have printed some demos using PLA.

Started working on the base parts for the modular planter dividers! The idea is that eventually it will be a modular system with different types of inserts for built-in planter bases. Currently built the basic insert, but I plan to add different sizes and sliders to make insertion/removal easier!
