honey pot planter (vase mode)

This planter was inspired by all the drippy models going around these days. I wanted to put my own spin on it, and I'd say it's maybe mildly successful 🤷‍♀️

This planter prints in vase mode, with vertical corrugation to add to add strength, and a built in dish for drainage. I swear, it is actually a planter and doesn't need a liner or anything, I just ran out of cactus soil, but I'll repot this milk plant as soon as I get some.

Print settings

This model can be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, as well as 0.6mm or 0.8mm. You have some level of freedom with the settings on this one, but here is what I recommend… stray from these settings at your own risk.

• Spiral vase mode / Spiralize outer contour: turn this on, this is how the whole magic works
• Layer Height: 0.3mm (not required, but I like printing fast)
• Line Width: 0.8mm (this gives it strength, and yes, you can do that with a 0.4mm nozzle, just trust me)
• Bottom Thickness / Bottom Layers: 1.2mm or 4 layers at 0.3mm layer height
• Printing Temperature: +10 to +15 degrees your usual temperature (I print PolyTerra at 200, but print these vases at 210 to 215 depending on my mood)
• Flow / Extrusion Multiplier: 110% to 120%, or 1.1 o 1.2 (this will help with making the models more watertight, among other things)
• Wall Speed: 30mm/s (you can play with this... slow it down if you have extruder issues)

Notes

The print in the photo was printed on an Elegoo Neptune 2 with a 0.4mm nozzle in Voxelab Yellow PLA+. I wish I had a deeper yellow so that it looks more like honey.
