allowing for portability with one hand, akin to a bucket

the inner shell has insufficient water drainage; the bottom of the inner shell perhaps need to be redesigned with perforation, but with an air gap between the bottom of the inner shell and raft, while still providing sufficient structural support

redesign inner shell as to accommodate wicking chamber (see #1)

redesign raft as to accommodate wicking chamber (see #1) while providing enough buoyancy to allow for proper drainage from inner shell

should highlight key design aspects/principles, s.a.,

• water-wicking material
• soil drainage
• floating raft for maintaining water level

As to better describe its functional purpose; a floating vegetable garden that can be used to produce edible crops, as well as cultivating a source of PLA bio-plastic for 3D printer filament for producing more of itself - inspired by the original concepts of the RepRap movement.

as current model has insufficient water-wicking

for ease of slicing for 3D printing

as to provide sufficient slicing profile for water-tight prints

water reservoir needs better aeration; perhaps warranting a redesign of inner shell to be circular as to allow for air gap between inner and outer shell, as well as rotation about z-axis, allowing for better water movement and aeration

proposed approach

Use a slicing configuration (preferably specified in YAML) and a headless slicer to generate STL & STEP files
