The best and simplest mod that I have done yet, love it
Great! I'm running the current via the 35mm screws, thus no need to fiddle a connector. On the toolhead side, the wire is squashed between the M3 nut and the plastic, making a solid connection, and secured with UV resin. On the fan shroud side, the wire is squeezed between the magnet and the shroud. The magnets needs to be long enough so they touch the screw head first before the shroud touches the body of the toolhead. Printed in ASA Fillamentum green (with too little cooling).
@johboh haha this wire connector is wild =))))
Tight fit, no magnets required, printed in Rosa 3D PLA Gray.
Readings are a bit off, got 15.6 mm on 16.0 mm, but close enough 🙂
Nice design! I recommend one tweak to the equation to compensate for printer error. when I printed mine, the resulting measurement for a radius of 0 is about 0.33mm, so the offset calc should look something like this. r = 2.414*(L-Offset) where the offset is calibrated by the user by measuring the radius of a cylinder with the calipers, then with the tool. then using the following equations. Offset = L - r/2.414
Edit: I made a Remix with as space for the correction factor. (edited)

@a_v_x glad you like it! Every filament is different, and some shrink more than others... You could try scaling down the ring 1-2 % and see if you get a nicer fit
Air-prune root system was new to me: I spent few hours on that topic. My 3D print used 0.6 mm nozzle and Jungle Green PET-G Prusament. I did not use 'brim' on satin sheet, as it will stuck too much. Textured steel sheet I had is now unusable (do not stick 'naked') after 2 months of printing.
Anyway I enjoyed the visual effect of that pot, but ordered few big 'Air Root Pruning Pots' to experiment with that method.
Please keep me posted on your results with 3D printed pot you have already. I'm really curious.
Cheers,

This thing is awesome, thank you! I printed in Overture Rock Marble PETG. As another user said, the bottom is beefy. I shaved down the bottom and took an hour and 25 min off the print time and reduced the filament use by 30%. I'll post a remix of that. (edited)
Printed at 88% scale for a snug fit with an Atlas mason jar (from that pasta sauce brand). The neck opening is 61mm at the top, 58 a bit lower down. Of course, scaling down also makes the holes slightly smaller, so a properly resized model might be a bit better.
great design, can you make it without the extrusion-hooks on the back so it can just be double-side-taped to smooth surfaces?
@JoeSmith_366929 sure can! I'll try update later today. You could however use a "negative volume" cube in Prusaslicer to remove the hooks ( https://help.prusa3d.com/article/negative-volume_238503).
Wondering whether I could use other rope? Perhaps a cotton rope?
@MWebster_688718 of course, I believe any rope will do. Synthetic fibers will be more resistant to decomposition though
Easy to print.
I will test whether my plant likes the pot.
Next print i will scale down the floater to 98%, so it easier moves. Had to post process it.
A additional coaster would be great.
Also a variant without the need of a rope would be useful. Two cylinder could go to bottom. Here is a good example.
