Celtic Orchid Pot

thingiverse

Size: Pot 150x150mm, base 160x160mm This is a work in progress. I have printed a few and I'm fairly happy with it. The print is meant to be used for orchids and using potting materials meant for orchids. Because orchids need air at the roots, you don't want to use a normal pot, but one with holes or cuts to provide the air. Because of these cuts, there might be leaking from watering. Because of that, the drain pan was made slightly bigger to catch any drops that may come through. The standoffs in the drain pan are meant to keep the pot from rotating in the base so drops don't accidentally end up outside the drain pan. I'll probably be increasing the extrusion slope to help prevent this further. There is currently a 10% slope to the extrusion. Because the drain pan is built to perfectly fit the pot, I unless your printer is well calibrated, you may want to scale the pan up a tiny bit to make sure it fits the pots. Just move it up to something like 100.1% or something
