Hey all. One of my hobbies is designing and 3d printing simple plant pots. I usually give the first one to my elderly neighbor because she got me into the idea years ago.

Anyone have an idea or a need for a planter I can try to design? I generally like more minimalist themes.

I made the first one super small, only big enough for a starter but I think I'm going to make the second one much bigger. The legs are pretty fragile.

I made it so it stands on its own legs! He hovers over the tray!

I love it! Can't believe you got this done in a day. Well done!

Thanks for the ideas. I'll probably spend some time over this week making some refinements and enlarging it. I'd be happy to send you one when it's all done. Just let me know. I think I might put the .STL on printables when it's better.
