Classic Curved Flower Pot with Thick Vertical Decorations

Drawing inspiration from the grandeur of Roman vases, I've crafted this classic curved flower pot to bring timeless elegance to your garden or indoor space. Its wide and graceful silhouette is adorned with thick vertical rounded lines that accentuate its swung side shape, offering both visual appeal and a nod to historical design.

To ensure your plants thrive, the pot incorporates drainage holes and stabilization ribs at the bottom, combining aesthetic charm with practical functionality. This pot is not just a container for your plants but a piece of art that enhances the beauty of your space.

Explore the Comprehensive PDF Catalog

Finding the perfect model amidst the large number of variants has never been easier! Take a look at the detailed PDF catalog in the "Other Files" section in the “Files” tab. This catalog provides a visual overview of all the models in this project, complete with dimensions, to help you quickly find exactly what you need.

But it's more than just a visual treat; the catalog includes organized tables that let you easily compare models based on specific parameters. Once you've spotted the model that meets your criteria, just search for its filename on the project page to easily download the right file.

How to Print the Pot

In the files section, you'll find PrusaSlicer example projects, offering basic settings as a starting point for your prints.

This flower pot is designed to be 3D printed with ease, accommodating various nozzle sizes and recommended materials to suit your preferences and the capabilities of your printer. Below are the print recommendations to achieve the best results:

Choosing the Right Material

• PETG is recommended for its durability, weather resistance, and ease of printing. This material ensures that your flower pot can withstand the elements outdoors.
• PLA is a ok choice, if you use this pot indoors as a decorative cache pot.
• ASA would be a perfect choice, but very difficult to print. Only recommended for printing experts, with heated enclosures.

Nozzle Size and Layer Height

The pot is designed to print effectively with 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzles, accommodating all wall thicknesses. Select a layer height appropriate for your nozzle size, and always review the sliced result before printing. Aim for the walls to be printed solely with perimeter lines, free of infill. For prints using a 0.4mm nozzle, consider increasing the number of perimeters to three or more for optimal results.

Choosing the Right Side Thickness

The models not only have different sizes, but also three side thicknesses.

• S17 (1.68mm): The thinnest variant is best suited for rigid filament. It is ok for smaller pots, but definitely too weak for pots that are equal or greater than 200mm in height.
• S20 (2.0mm): The medium thickness gives more stability and works well for soft materials like PETG. A good compromise, for medium sized indoor pots.
• S25 (2.5mm): My recommendation. This thickness provides excellent structural support for the sides of the pot, even for very large prints. These prints withstand outdoor conditions, even when moved filled with heavy wet soil.

Dimensions

The model comes in various sizes to accommodate different plant sizes and spaces. An example filename, LR2407-S25-H200-D350.3mf, illustrates the naming convention and gives insight into the dimensions:

• S25 indicates the side thickness of 2.5mm.
• H200 denotes the pot's height at 200mm.
• D350 represents the diameter of the pot, measuring 350mm.

Matching Saucer

• Round and Plain Plant Saucer
• Octagonal Plant Saucer

Locating the Model Files

All the 3D models for the pot and saucer can be found in the “Files” tab, nestled under the “Other Files” category. To streamline your experience, I've organized them into separate ZIP files based on file format—choose from STL, 3MF, or STEP files according to your needs. Simply download the ZIP file that corresponds with the format you require.
