Hey plant friends! πŸ‘‹ I've been working on some unique, handcrafted planters that are perfect for adding a special touch to your houseplant collection. Each planter is made for my own specific plants. Attached image is my avocado tree and a few succulents.

Whether you're into hanging planters, tabletop pieces, or statement pots, I've got something that can match any plant lover's style! πŸŒΏπŸ›οΈ Check them out at my Artisans Co-op store

Question: What's your favorite type of planter for showcasing your houseplants? I’d love to hear your ideas! πŸŒ±πŸ‘‡

"Custom designed" seems more appropriate

Listen, I'm just someone that found a hobby that people liked. I came up with the twisted design for a local plant shop (it was actually a watering can first, which I still sell). That launched the online stores and now my hobby pays for itself. How many people can say that?

I am proud of the designs I make even if they are simple and 3d printing is a skill in its own right. There are hundreds of slicer settings and I make use of a lot of them to do interesting things.

No hate on my part friend, I think it's awesome!

I mildly agree, but even that is a stretch. https://www.printables.com/model/842864-spiral-pot-or-vase

Nice designs, and nice plants. How come the round one isn't listed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks, tbh it was for a time on my Etsy shop but it never sold a single one. So I took it down. It was kind of expensive to make due to how parts of the design were.

The distance between the inner and outer wall was too thick, the bottom was solid for about 10mm to add weight but all that added up to was much material.

I think I'm better at design now though and could make one similar that used a lot less material which would cost less.

Fair enough, just curious. Time for round 2!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes for sure. My big printer is broken right now and I need to figure out how to fix it before I can make another one that sized.
