________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Orange Planter: 100% size/no infill/no supports/0.2mm layers/Yayo PLA+ (V0 pot)

printed well, no gaps

Sky-Blue Planter: 150% size/5% infill/supports on legs/0.3mm layers/Elegoo PLA (V1 pot)

printed well, no gaps

Yellow Planter: 150% size/no infill/no supports/0.2mm layers/Extrudr PETG (V1 pot)

printed OK, gaps on round features (top of legs, head, pot-inlet - check pictures)

Grey Planter: 150% size/5% infill/supports/0.15 layers/Yayo PLA+ (V2 pot)

printed well, no gaps

For a size of 150%+ I suggest 0.15-0.2mm layer height, at least 5% infill and supports on legs (use the .3mf if you dont want to add supports yourself, BUT check my settings, if they suit your printer/needs)

I always play around with line-width in the slicer, when there are overhangs. For the 150% model i used 0.7mm outer perimeters.

The pot slides quite fine into the elephant. I shrinked the pot's size (100% size) by 0.1mm in both X and Y directions.

I added 2 different versions of the pot (V1, V2). The orange one has an older version w/o the “handles” (V0 …no upload)

Edit: If you compress your soil too much, the pot bends to the outside, so a little bit of dirt made it hard to slip inside the elephant. → Added Topf_V3, which is beveled by 0.3x20mm (see pictures).

If there are question, just ask.

Have fun with it.
