Planter Pot Soma A Brave New World

This is a planter inspired by the book "A Brave New World". Soma is a large part of the book and is a pacifier to unrest and dealing with reality for the people.

A quote from the book about it:
"I don't understand anything," she said with decision, determined to preserve her incomprehension intact. "Nothing. Least of all," she continued in another tone "why you don't take soma when you have these dreadful ideas of yours. You'd forget all about them. And instead of feeling miserable, you'd be jolly. So jolly,"

I made this out of Hatchbox wood PLA. I first printed it with a small amount of support for the bottom of the pill bottle cap and the edge of the unsupported bottle since it is rounded and the threads of the bottle. The rest of the print wont need support, but Cura can recognize that automatically. Make sure to scale the print in your slicer to the desired size. Next I took it off the bed, broke off support, and sanded it with 30 grit sand paper scuffing all surfaces. I blew off the dust and put down two layers of "natural wood stain" from home depot. Lastly I coated the inside with acrylic paint to be moisture resistant and one succulent in with soil.

Any questions feel free to ask, I would love to see your make if you print this!
