Introducing the octagonal flower pot, a perfect blend of functionality and style. This pot’s distinctive eight-sided design, with smoothly rounded corners, forms its foundational shape. The top rim of the pot is elegantly rounded, accentuating the pot’s unique geometry with clean, unembellished lines. On the sides, a series of vertical ribs interact with light to create an engaging play of shadows. These ribs run straight from the top to the bottom, intersecting at the octagon’s corners for a seamless look.
Beyond their decorative purpose, these ribs contribute significantly to the pot’s sturdiness. Additional ribs at the bottom reinforce the pot, ensuring it remains robust, even when moved. Numerous small drainage holes are strategically placed to allow excess water to escape while preventing soil erosion and promoting air circulation.
This model comes in an impressive 62 size variations, ranging in height from 80mm to 400mm, and in diameter from 180mm to 400mm. It caters to a wide array of printers, from standard models like the Prusa MK3S+ to larger ones like the Prusa XL. To suit different preferences and requirements, three wall thickness options are available: 1.68mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm. This allows you to customize the material usage and determine the final sturdiness of your pot.
Printing the Pot
In the files section, you’ll find PrusaSlicer example projects, offering basic settings as a starting point for your prints. For more detailed information, please refer to the table below:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Orientation | Refer to the example project. |
| Nozzle Size | 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm (see below) |
| Layer Height | Adjust according to nozzle size |
| Filament Materials | Recommended: PETG, ASA |
| Perimeters | 2 to 3, based on wall thickness |
| Infill | 15% (check slicer settings) |
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.
Dimensions
Each model file’s name encodes the width (W), diameter (D), and side thickness (S). For example, consider the filename LR2404-pot-S25-H200-D280.3mf. This model has a side thickness of S25 (2.5mm), a height of H200 (200mm), and a diameter of D280 (280mm).
