Minion style planter for smaller indoor plants. It will fit flower pots with a diameter of up to 8.5 cm and a height of 7.5 cm. The yellow upper body has drainage holes at the bottom and the trousers act as a saucer.

The model has 8 individual parts that have to be glued together to create the 3 final pieces the planter consists of. All parts except the trousers can be printed without support in the provided orientation. Support for the trousers should only be required for the area between the legs and the suspenders - organic support worked fine for me.  I printed mine with a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layer height and it came out fine.

The assembly is done quickly and consists of the following steps:

  1. Glue the black pupil onto the white eye - the small stud will help with the alignment
  2. Glue the black head band onto the silver goggles - it should only fit one direction
  3. Glue the assembled eye from the back into the silver goggles - make some tests upfront which orientation you like most. The chamfered edge of the black head band will face upwards later on
  4. Glue both arms onto the trousers - the bigger end of the arm should point towards the ground
  5. Optional - You can glue the black head band onto the yellow body, but gravity should keep it in place
