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

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.

I really like the teal color. Looks great!

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

Wilshire@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y

Yes, 200% is definitely water tight.

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...

Nice! Is that mother of millions in the pot with a face?

Duckherder@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

They're adorable!

GrouchyLady@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I love it!

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.

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.

kiithwarrior@beehaw.org · 3 pts · 3y

That's awesome!

Byakko@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Wow so cute :3

MrJukes@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
