3DPrinter-Terracotta

I was sparked by the ingenious concept of "terraplanter" and set out to bring it to life with a 3D printer, wondering if it was even possible. The terra planter Kickstarter page offered valuable insights into this innovative idea. I paid close attention as they showcased their inside-out hydroponic planter pot. However, my experiment quickly turned sour when I discovered that the water simply drained away in just a day. It appears that only a specific type of clay possesses the necessary properties to achieve such results. The settings used for each print were: Resolution: 0.2 Outer wall thickness: 0.4 Infill percentage: 25% Filament material: PLA (clear) Resolution: 0.8 Outer wall thickness: 0.4 Infill percentage: 25% Filament material: PLA (clear) Resolution: 0.2 Infill pattern: 100% - 75% - 50%, layered from bottom to top. Filament material: PLA (purple) Resolution: 0.2 Infill pattern: 100% - 70% - 65%, layered from bottom to top. Filament material: PLA (purple) Resolution: 0.1 Infill pattern: 100% - 75% - 50%, layered from bottom to top. Filament material: TPU (blue) Resolution: 0.2 Infill percentage: 100% Filament material: TPU (blue) Resolution: 0.1 Infill percentage: 100% Filament material: TPU (blue)
