Air Pruning Bonsai Pot

grabcad

I designed this model to take advantage of air pruning by incorporating holes into the pot that allow roots near the edge to burn due to dryness, resulting in healthier root systems and faster overall growth. This design also features a large center hole at the bottom that can be used to wick water when you're away from home. 3D PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm nozzle, 0.4 mm nozzle, or 0.44 mm line width Infill: Tri-hexagon at 25% Filament brand: PRILINE Filament color: Light Wood Filament material: Wood PLA 1.75mm filament Notes: Temperature: 210C nozzle, 65C print bed, and 95% flow Print Speed: 60 mm/s or 5 mm/s with a jerk of 5 mm/s Build Plate Adhesion: 12mm Brim COASTING ENABLED Ironing enabled, zigzag, 0.2 mm line spacing, 15% inflow, and 90 mm/s travel speed Wipe nozzle after the first full layer if possible.
