Just look at this guy😂 My first print😆🪴

Anyone got a hastag for 3D-printed or creative homemade pots?😄

@MockingJay So cool! So many things that you can make with them too! I saw someone make a "trellis" for their plants to grow onto. I forget who it was on here who did it. I'd be making so many pots the machine would be smoking! 😂 Good job! I can't wait to see what you make!
Is that Bulbasaur @MockingJay? That's fantastic! My daughter isn't into plants much but she would adore those, she loves Pokemon. That Oddish is so cute!
Thank you all for your comments😄
@princesspitstop that sounds awsome! We really need our own hashtag for 3D-printed planty-things😄
@SimpleSucc just think about all the possibillities 🤑
@BuffCaperspurge oh my🙈
@FairyFly it is indeed a very blue bulbasaur😄 Hoping my little cobweb chick will grow into him well😄 The oddish has a birds nest snake plant that fits perfect! I have printed a test-oddish too that I am going to put a green spider-plant in. Easy plants to maintain, maybe something for your daughter😄
@RealSimpleMama yes I found this cute bulbasaur as a free file😄 But I am a playground-designer (landscape architect), so I am used to 3D-modelling and am looking forward to making some of my own designs too😄
I will indeed try some paint, I have bought primer, but I think the result usually isn't that great with paint🙈 It was ok with painting only the mouth and eyes of the oddish though 😄

Yes!! I have a 3d printer, though I mainly have been using it for other plant related things. Recently I designed some tags (mine kept breaking in the sun and fading), supports to hold a big grow light, and a little stand for a tiny fan for my Cephalotus & Heliamphora! It's so fun 😄✨️ you'll have a blast!
@MockingJay The #3dprint hashtag you added to your post has 3 members so far! Start promoting it by telling people about it and invite them to join! 😁👍 It will be a "thing" before you know it!
@MockingJay @HayleyQ is who I was talking about that has made a lot of things with her printer! Click on the #3dprint and you'll see her post right under yours with pics!
Yesssss! 3d printer gang! I have made toooo many things in my garden/patio area with my 3d printer, so much so that I’ve even started my own online business out of it 😂🥰 these were my very first prints, I’ll have to get some updated photos of all the new things I’ve made! Have the most amazing time, it’s so much fun! 😍
@Merranda, @SteadyAirpotato so many possibillities!😄
@HayleyQ that is so cool😄 Yes we need updates on all your planty prints!
@JovialCaitlin those look really great! And what cool filament color!

@JovialCaitlin That yellow pot is precious!! I'd buy it! @SteadyAirpotato I know that the cost of filament alone is ridiculously expensive which in order to make a profit the pot would be up there. Did I get that right? I've only read about it and that was the conclusion I came up with. 😊 Give me the dirt (no pun intended) hahaha Weighing my options, considering purchasing one.
@MockingJay perfect plant for that pot 😍. I've seen the bublasaur one for a while but not printed it. I have printed inner pots more than outer ones as some of the nice ceramic ones dont fit nicely with the plastic ones i can buy
@princesspitstop filament prices vary in price quite a bit depending on material, color etc. You can get a 1kg roll of quite a few of the commonly used materials like pla, pla+, petg for around $15 bucks. Depending on the size of a pot you'd print, say you use 200g of filament. Comfortably, you could do 4 pots off that one roll. The fifth would be tough as things happen with 3d printing and prints fail here and there. So that's a base price of 5 dollars a pot for a 4 or 4 inch pot. That also depends on thickness you set up for the walls, infill, etc. But that's a long-winded response already, so I'll cut it off here!
@TheLonelyDaff I am aiming to print pots with holes so I don’t need an inner pot in them. I drilled a hole in bulbasaur as it didn't have any😅 The oddish I got actually has a "shithole" 😂 which isn't directly at the bottom, so it doesn't even need a tray I just tilt it to make the extra water drain and put it back in place😄 But I have seen oddish ones with a cute leaf-tray you can print too.
But I have been thinking about printing some inner-pots with more airflow for my orchids😄

That's so adorable!
