the modular "be creative planter" (or box)

thingiverse

This is a versatile planter/box design - simple to print - where you can unleash your creativity by designing unique sides, painting them, adding pictures or sculptures. You can also experiment with dual-color prints using a single color printer. Just slide the customizable sides into the base and then attach the top. The waterproof base adds an extra layer of durability. I've included some examples to demonstrate how it works. The images are in random order, but I'm sure you'll get the idea: Alien sculpture created with manual filament changes Dual-color print achieved using manual filament changes Simple smile design Sides with holes for added functionality Upcycled nail polish art (Note: This requires patience as it needs to dry completely. You can also use acrylic paint.) You can even repurpose this planter/box as a picture frame by adding a waterproof coating. The assembled box measures 120x120x120mm. Please do not scale it without considering the risks involved. To ensure a seamless assembly, print the base in a darker color than the sides. I recommend using a 0.4 nozzle and 2-3 walls with your preferred infill setting. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your planter/box: 1. Test your printer's tolerance by printing the included test files. Check if the parts fit together smoothly, and make sure to clean up any rough edges with a sharp knife. If they don't fit perfectly, try sanding the backside of the sides or start over. 2. Choose from the two simple templates provided in the download or visit Tinkercad at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/583V7sqMgsr to design your own unique sides.

Assemble the planter/box, check if everything fits together properly, and apply some glue to secure it in place. 5. The final step: Share your creation with the community!
