It's me again. Made this and need to plant something in it (lemmy.world)

I made this planter (<- imgur gallery) to sell at a pair of craft fairs I'm attending this month and next. I needed something small enough I could fit a few of them on the 6 foot table. I can make them in any color but I love how the black and white turned out.

I would like to have one with a plant in it to showcase it on the table and was hoping you all would have some suggestions (this community always has great suggestions!)

It's about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Golden Pathos?

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I like that idea. I've now made two of these.

Non-Amrrican here. This looks like a civil war era hat.

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

oh no! I was certainly not going for that! I'm not sure how to respond to that.

I think it's just a funny coincidence. Growing a plant in it will likely redeem it entirely.

Marrying your cousin is the correct response

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hah! Pass.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are the blocky corners on the outside intentional or did you forget to raise the polygon/vertex count?

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

On purpose.

[–] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Very cool! Nice design. Do you sell the STL file too? I want to print one of these at like 250% scale.

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I don't generally. Though I've released a few over the years. I am actually planning on making a 35cm diameter sized one. It's not parametric so it won't scale up nicely. I'll need to just remake it.

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Second comment, so I've been working on resizing it to 34ish cm diameter. Got it there though not optimized super well. It's going to use almost 1200g of filament over the two spools. Crazy.

[–] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow! I have no idea how big cm are but that's a shit ton of plastic! What's your infill percentage look like on that one?

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

10% infill and that's about 13" diameter. Going to need to order another pair of spools to make that one.

[–] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow that is chonky. Good luck with your designs, friend.

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks friend. Chonky is what I was going for.

[–] Guenther_Amanita@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Pinguicula?

My collection is pretty young tho. The live moss will overgrow the whole surface soon :)

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When in doubt, succulents!

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah.... I already bought one. hahaha. Was hoping someone was more creative than me.
