Planter 19 - Lift Me Up, with holder

----------------------

I suggest adding some felt pads to the bottom of the feet to minimize the probability of scratching your table.

SETTINGS / PRINTING (recommendation)

Filament: PETG or PLA. Please note that PLA can deform/break down in the sunlight. In addition, some types of PLA are biodegradable. Print: 0.2mm Nozzle: 0.4mm

Support, planter: Not required, print 1x on the bottom Support, holder: Not required, print 2x on the side Support, leg: It all depends on your printer. It's not required on mine. But you might want to enable it as it will require under 1gr of support for all 4 legs, so why risk it? Print 4x standing up (vertical)

Brim, planter: Not required Brim, holder: Not required Brim, leg: Required, 3-5mm

Infill: 15-25% Perimeters: at least 2, best 3 (minimizing probability of holes and water damage to your table) Vase mode: No. While it is tempting to 3D print planters in the Vase mode, I find that there is just not enough fusion between the layers. In addition, a few micro-holes may appear during the sanding/handling of the finished planter. The water will find its way, even through a rock, so there's no reason to risk it.

OTHER

- If you are really worried that the planter might leak, use a waterproof sealant spray (for example Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear) inside of the planter, 3-4 coatings should be enough. You could also read the official Prusa blog post “ Watertight 3D printing PT1: Vases, cups and other open models ”.

- To make the planter smooth and shiny, you could use sandpaper, prime it, (spray)paint it a couple of times and use a varnish coat on top.

Happy Printing!
