Soft Rounded Triangle Flower Pots with Decorative Rim and Lines

prusaprinters

I'm thrilled to present my latest creation — the Soft Rounded Triangle Flower Pots with Decorative Rim and Lines. I've taken the classic triangle shape and softened the edges for a gentle aesthetic, accented with beautifully curved sides that give these pots a sense of modern flair. These pots come in various sizes, each crafted with a slight angle to the sides, adorned by a subtle decorative horizontal line that exudes elegance. At the base, a smooth curve nestles into the surface it sits upon.The crowning feature of each pot is the decorative rim, where I've carefully shaped three soft rings in a cascading waterfall pattern — a nod to the flowing forms of nature. Functional design elements include thoughtfully placed drainage holes and stabilization ribs at the bottom, ensuring your plants enjoy optimal growing conditions.Update 2024-06-05: Added a showcase folder.Pair With the Perfect SaucerEnhance your gardening setup with the Soft Rounded Triangle Plant Saucers with Decorative Rim, designed to complement this Pot perfectly. This pairing not only elevates the aesthetic appeal of your space but also ensures practicality by keeping it tidy and efficient.Explore the Comprehensive PDF CatalogFor those of you who like to dive into details, I've prepared a comprehensive PDF catalog that showcases the pots with all dimensions and variations. You'll find it under the "Other Files" category on the project page, offering a visual and informative guide to help you select the perfect pot for your space.How to Print the PotsIn the file section, you find a PrusaSlicer example file. It contains all my recommended adjustments. If you like to build it from scratch, have a look at the following table:ParameterDescriptionNozzle Size0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mmFilament MaterialsPETG (recommended), PLA, ASA (for experts)Perimeters2 or 3, see details belowInfill15%Nozzle Size and Layer HeightThe pot is designed to print effectively with 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzles, accommodating all wall thicknesses. Select a layer height appropriate for your nozzle size, and always review the sliced result before printing. Aim for the walls to be printed solely with perimeter lines, free of infill. For prints using a 0.4mm nozzle, consider increasing the number of perimeters to three or more for optimal results.Choosing the Right Side ThicknessThe models not only have different sizes, but also three side thicknesses.S17 (1.68mm): The thinnest variant is best suited for rigid filament. It is ok for smaller pots, but definitely too weak for pots that are equal or greater than 200mm in height.S20 (2.0mm): The medium thickness gives more stability and works well for soft materials like PETG. A good compromise, for medium sized indoor pots.S25 (2.5mm): My recommendation. This thickness provides excellent structural support for the sides of the pot, even for very large prints. These prints withstand outdoor conditions, even when moved filled with heavy wet soil.Dimensions and Naming ConventionsTo make things as straightforward as possible, I've used a clear naming convention for the files. For example LR2428-S20-H125-D200. Here's how to decode it:S20 refers to a side thickness of 2.0mm.H125 denotes the height of the pot, a modest 125mm.D200 means the diameter at the widest point of the pot is 200mm.The diameter is measured at the upper tips of the pot. Please note, I prioritise the geometries over an exact dimension, so this diameter may vary about 1 mm.Locating the Model FilesAll model files for these pots can be found in the "Files" tab, where I've organized them into ZIP files based on file format for your convenience. Choose from 3MF, or STEP files according to your preference.Where are the STL files?I decided to no longer provide STL files, as the 3MF format already contains a mesh based format that can be read by almost every slicer software. In case you need the STL format, please open the 3MF file using PrusaSlicer and export the model as STL from there.About the Photos of a Real PrintThe print in the photo was made on an Original Prusa XL, using a 0.6 mm nozzle and with “Fiberlogy Easy PET-G Pastel Mint” filament. It shows the exact print for the PrusaSlicer example project.Explore More 3D ModelsCheckout the following blog post for a visual overview of all flower pots and saucers I designed:Designing 3D-Printable PotsI warmly invite you to browse my other 3D model designs that may spark your interest or complement your current project:>>> Browse all my 3D models <<<ConclusionCreating these Soft Rounded Triangle Flower Pots has been a joyous endeavor, combining functional design with a touch of elegance.
