5" Diamond-like Planter

prusaprinters

<p><strong>About the Design</strong><br>I wanted a modern and simple design that would be fun and easy to print. I love printing 2 tone planters as it makes it easy to create many unique variations and is very simple to do a color swap in a Slicer program. I used this planter for some rare basil and pared it up with the self-watering planter insert to make it easy to grow herbs in my house.<br><br>Inside pot dimensions: 5"x 3.5" with a shell/wall thickness of .075" to make it water tight. I printed .2mm layer height using Overture Matte Teal PLA with Eryone Silk Gold PLA for the top part. Color change set in Prusa Slicer.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Print Settings that Worked for Me</strong></p><ul><li><strong>.2mm Layer Height</strong><br>I find this to be a good number for speed and quality. I'm sure .15-.3 would work well too.<br>&nbsp;</li><li><strong>100% Infill</strong><br>I recommend setting 100% infill to make the pot water-tight. You can paint Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue on the inside if you have leaking issues.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Set Perimeters to 6 lines for Vertical Shells (optional)</strong><br>&nbsp;I find setting this in the Slicer gets smoother sidewalls and a tiny bit faster print over an infill pattern.<br>&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Planter Insert Note: </strong>I re-scaled the Self-watering Planter Insert that I link to in the remix to fit this size.<br>&nbsp;</li></ul><p><strong>Let me know your results or thoughts?</strong><br>I'm starting to design more planters. I'm playing around with shell thickness to maintain water-tightness but also keep filament as low as possible. I find 1.75-2m works well but if you have different experiences, let me know!<br><br>&nbsp;</p>
