Those are super cool! Would you be willing to share the print files?

For anyone thinking of doing similar, you can get pretty sturdy planters/pots/vases using vase mode but with really thick extrusions, like in PrusaSlicer setting the extrusion width to something like 0.8mm (using .4mm nozzle). Takes a lot of the fragility and flexing out of vase-mode prints, and it's surprising how thick extrusions you can make with a regular .4 nozzle.
I use higher temps, 2mm layer height, 0.6mm line width, with a 0.4mm nozzle. I find that going higher than 150% has an effect on my surface quality.
True, it does affect surface quality a bit, but I found that for some uses, it's was actually desirable or at least tolerable
Yes, 200% is definitely water tight.
I would have hundreds of these if I had a printer. My hubby is thinking about one for his drine stuff while I'm secretly plotting to make pots for all my plants. Love the planters! Super cute.
Thanks! I wish I had bought one a long time ago, but they're sooo much cheaper now. Planters are my favorite thing to print.
Nice K. diagremontiana! Mine grew so damn big I had to chop its head off.
Yes I did a bit of color correcting, it was for a joke about Etsy posts and I can't find the original now
I found them on the roadside in Florida growing like a weed, and ofc I took one home.
The blue one is super cute but I love the look of the cactus one! So thematic.

I really like the teal color. Looks great!
The effect off the blue walls is intriguing, not to be a geek but was this a setting in your slicer or a printer limitation? Just wondering because it really looks very cool like a woven effect I dig that!!
On a side note: God mobile Thingiverse is still awful. Shame what that site has become, no wonder printables now has an import tool.
I added fuzzy skin in PrusaSlicer, but the walls were too thin and I used 0% infill. They drain really well!
I saw someone on the 3Dprinting subreddit say that they'd just been hired by Ultimaker/cura to help fix Thingiverse. I've noticed some improvements...
Looks pretty! I dig the cactus one at the right. The next one could be a mario pipe, don't you think?
You know what... I could use some venus fly traps.
Nice! Is that mother of millions in the pot with a face?
It's a close relative. I do have some mother or millions, even where I don't want it. 😅
That's awesome!
They're adorable!
I love it!
So cute!
Wow so cute :3
Wow, super cute!
Great, now I want a 3D printer even more.
