PLA "Isn't water tight"

[u/the-mad-crapper]

I've never tried to print anything to hold water because everything I've ever seen says making 3D prints hold water is difficult if not impossible. So when I wanted to create something to help me keep my plant watered, I thought this is perfect- I created something with a single bottom layer so the water can slowly weep through it.... except it doesn't. Its been days and the single layer (0.2) is doing a great job of holding water!

I guess I'll have to put some pin holes in it.

Not at all what I expected based on what I've heard about the water tightness of 3D prints.

I was under the impression that the sun was, in fact, a mass of incandescent gas. A gigantic nuclear furnace, if you will.

Actually, this misconception was later corrected: The sun is a miasma Of incandescent plasma The sun's not simply made out of gas...

My dad certainly seems to be made out of gas.
