Carnivorous Plant storage box

thingiverse

I've created several Venus boxes using the ball base and teeth, and they always appear to be plant-like to me. It's similar to the carnivorous plants found in Mario games or like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. I decided to go with that concept and create matching items. First, credit is due where it's due. Credits: The Venus box top and inner doors can be obtained from the original design at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559232. The teeth are available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1564731. The ball base can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1654624. Everything else needed is included, but to clarify the credits: I modified the dirt terrain from a design I found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1901860. I obtained the leafy base from a lotus flower at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1449751. I used a pot from here (can't remember which one, hence the repost) at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806583. Mainly, I modified existing designs and created the stem myself. Building tips: Print the bottom plate only if you want to plug the hole in the pot, allowing you to store small items inside. You'll need something heavy inside the pot, as the whole thing is unstable otherwise. If this was a real plant, there would be a clay pot filled with dirt, but then I probably wouldn't keep it on my desk! Glue the leafy portion to the stem and glue the stem to the dirt portion, but do not glue anything else. This will allow you to remove the dirt and stem from the pot to store items inside and take out the Venus box portion.
