This is an extremely simple to assemble and modify self watering planter. You will need a 3D printer to complete this build, but there are also printing services available. When printed in PLA, this planter is bio-degradable, so it is recommended that you use an ABS or ASA filament.

Since this has already been designed in tinkercad, feel free to follow the link and edit the design yourself!
