Moroccan Tile Planter Box with Lid

thingiverse

This planter holds water as a tray and provides a decorative outer container for a 4" nursery pot -- it is large enough to fit some of the taller ones, but not too big for shorter square planters. I also have round pots that fit well in it. I did get quite a bit of stringing on the islamic tile pattern. I'm pretty new here, so maybe you have a great print setting that would clean that up but my printer does well with other calibrations. I was able to snip off the worst of it and won't be looking too closely. I also created a version with just the simpler moroccan tile pattern as well on 4 sides. You can see that one printed in Gold Silk PLA. In case you want just a container, there is also a lid that sets inside the box, or could be used as a coaster. This tile pattern printed more easily since it's set flat and a thicker print. Both designs cast pretty shadows while I was printing so might be fun to try a strong light from inside cast against a wall. If you try it out, post a make, I would love to see!! HOW I MADE IT: Creality Ender 3 v2 neo Settings UPDATED version: "Moroccan Tile Box v2 -Thicker Walls" and the corresponding lid (which I did not test) with minor modification "Moroccan Tile Box v2 Lid-Wider, Thinner." Notes: Original versions had thin walls, so I have updated the box with 2 separate tile patterns to have more even, thicker walls Nozzle 200, Bed 60, Resolution 0.2mm, print tested at 50% size in Ziro PLA Translucent red Original file -- Arabic Tile v2 Dual Pattern Box Print details: White PLA Standard/low quality: 0.28 Wall thickness 1.5 Line count 4 No rafts or supports needed about 12 hrs Moroccan Tile on 4 sides Box print details: This file is due to be updated and still has some thin walls. I recommend updating Wall thickness/perimeters as follows Gold silk PLA Standard quality 0.28 Wall thickness -- print at 1.5 like the one above No rafts or supports Lid print details: PLA Low quality 0.28 Wall thickness standard 0.8 No rafts or supports about 6 hours Created in Tinkercad.
