Your Creativity and Color Choice Make this Simple Design Pop! I really love the sleekness of this pot paired up with the self-watering insert (linked in the remix). Have some left over filament, use it as an accent. I have been enjoying mixing matte and silk filaments to get different contrasts. Simply set a filament change in the slicer or manually do it from the printer.  Filament Recommendations For the photos in this model, I have used Overture Matte White and Teal PLA with accents from Eryone Silk Gold. The black and gold pot are Polymaker PLA+ with Eryone Silk Gold accents and the insert printed in Overture Silk Gold PLA. I find the Overture Silk Gold PLA works better for structural prints and is cheaper where the Eryone works great for accents. The self-watering insert can be printed at 15% infill as it doesn't need to be water tight however the pot should be printed at 100% infill. See my notes below and on the self watering insert page for more information. Print Settings that Worked for Me<ul><li>.15-.2mm Layer Height I find this to be a good number for speed and quality. I'm sure .3 would work well too but more noticeable layers.  </li><li>100% Infill 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.   </li><li>Set Perimeters to 6 lines or More for Vertical Shells (optional)  I find setting this in the Slicer gets smoother sidewalls and a tiny bit faster print over an infill pattern.  </li><li>Planter Insert Note: I didn't scale the Self-watering Planter Insert that I link to in the remix as it was designed for the default size. You can scale the insert and pot down or up pretty easily to fit you needs.  </li></ul>Let me know your results or thoughts? 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 used a thinner shell on this pot to save filament and to speed up time. I find this works well for this design but may be problematic if scaling down too much. But if you have different experiences, let me know!
