-- UPDATE --
There is a tweaked sensor mount with slightly more clearance for the leftover support material you may have in your sensor pocket. Use this version!The hole will need to be drilled through with a 3.5mm drill bit, or just poked through with a sharp tool to fit your screw.
After seeing that my ceiling mounted presence sensors wouldn't work for so many people, I set about finding a way to hide presence sensors another way - which ultimately led to this!
It's a 3D printed 200mm pot with a spot for an Apollo MTR-1, and a ring of addressable LED's inside.

Layer height: 0.3mm recommended
Infill: 4% adaptive cubic
Supports: required for the inside of the sensor housing on the pot, and the overhang on the sensor housing.
Perimeters/Walls: 2 walls should work fine, 1 also works well!

Sealing Print
If you intend to use your planter for real plants, you'll need to seal the print to prevent leaks. I used Photopolymer resin to coat the inside of the pot, then cured it with a UV lamp.
Polyurethane spray will also work great.
