The prompt
Create a fully functional, parametric, 3D-printable self-watering planter with two detachable structural parts. This is a mechanical CAD project, not a decorative figurine. **OVERALL DIMENSIONS** - Total assembled height: 80 mm. - Main body diameter: approximately 65 mm. - Flat, stable bottom. - Rounded exterior edges. - Nominal wall thickness: 2 mm. - All dimensions in millimeters. **PART A — UPPER PLANTING CONTAINER** Create an open-top cylindrical planting container with slightly rounded exterior walls, approximately 52 mm tall. Requirements: - Completely open top with a smooth rounded rim. - Hollow interior for soil and oat seeds. - Solid internal bottom, approximately 2.5 mm thick. - One central 5 mm hole for a water-absorbing wick. - Six additional drainage holes, approximately 2 mm in diameter, distributed around the central hole. - Interior suitable for holding moist soil. - No lid or closed surface covering the planting opening. **PART B — LOWER WATER RESERVOIR** Create a detachable water reservoir, approximately 28 mm tall, designed to fit beneath the planting container. Requirements: - Hollow interior for storing water. - Closed bottom, approximately 2.5 mm thick. - Approximately 2 mm wall thickness. - Flat external base. - Upper opening compatible with Part A. - Enough internal clearance for the wick to extend into the stored water. - No permanent connection between the parts. **QUARTER-TURN BAYONET CONNECTION** Design a functional, concealed quarter-turn bayonet locking system between the upper planting container and the lower water reservoir. Requirements: - Two or three robust locking tabs and matching L-shaped channels. - Approximately 90-degree locking rotation. - Initial clearance of 0.3 mm between mating surfaces. - Rounded tab corners. - Avoid fragile or excessively thin features. - Parts must remain detachable for cleaning and refilling. - Connection must be printable using FDM technology. **PRINTING REQUIREMENTS** - Designed for FDM 3D printing. - Suitable for PLA or PETG. - Minimize supports and unnecessary material. - All bodies must be watertight manifold solids geometrically, with no unintended openings. - The reservoir must be suitable for physical leak testing. - Do not fuse the two structural parts. - Export two separate STL files and, if available, a parametric STEP file. **IMPORTANT DESIGN CONSTRAINT** The upper container will later receive a decorative chibi boy face with large eyes, rounded ears, smiling mouth and hands resting on the cheeks. The lower reservoir will later receive the appearance of a blue sweater. Therefore, keep the exterior surfaces clean and suitable for adding decorative 3D geometry later. Do not generate facial features, eyes, hands, clothing, hair or any decorative character details in this first step. Prioritize mechanical accuracy, assembly, functional cavities and printable geometry. Ensure the two parts align correctly when assembled.
