The wine barrel planter

Become a barrel maker! Print and assemble this cute wine barrel planter. This is a new object of the legendary Dreamtime24's wine barrel series :)

The wine barrel planter makes a perfect gift.

The wine barrel planter really consists of 19 single staves which give the barrel a realistic look. The barrel is 8,5 cm (3.3 inches) high and 9.7 cm (3.82 inches) wide. The inner pot has an inner diameter of 7.5 cm (2.9 inches) and an inner heigth of 6.8 cm (2.7 inches).

Please do not resize the model in your slicer, as the tolerances are designed for the present size.

The inner pot should be printed in PETG or a similar material to make it resistant against the humid soil.

If you need another wine barrel without the flower pot functionality, you might consider my following Thingiverse objects:

List of items to print:

• Planter stave V1.stl

Print this item 19 times in a brown color.

• Planter cover bottom V1.stl

Print this item once in a brown color.

• Planter cover top V1.stl

Print this item once in a brown color.

• Planter ring small V1.stl

Print this item once in any color you like.

• Planter ring large V1.stl

Print this item once in any color you like.

• Planter inner pot V1.stl

Print this item once in any color you like in PETG or another water resistant material.

• Planter stave +1mm V1.stl
• Planter stave -1mm V1.stl

Print in a brown color only if the staves do not form the 360 degrees angle.

Use these segments as a substitution for one or more normal segments. Example: If there is a 2 mm gap, exchange 2 normal segments against 2 segments which are 1 mm wider each.

The assembly is easier than the assembly of my other barrels. You will need a rubber band to avoid frustration. Please look at the assembly instructions further down. No glue is needed, everything comes together nicely.

Enjoy printing this object.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Flsun

Printer:

Flsun V400

Rafts:

No

Supports:

No

Resolution:

0.2 mm initial layer, 0.2 mm layer height, use experimental feature "adaptive layers" in Cura

Infill:

10 %

Filament: GIANTARM, TINMORRY, SUNLU PLA, PETG New Brown, Silk Silver

Notes:

Nozzle not larger than 0.4 mm.

If you use the Cura slicer you can use the experimentatl feature "Use Adaptive Layers" to save some print time for the 19 segments. I got very good results with the adaptive layers.

Do not resize the barrel in your slicer program. Everything is designed for the existing size. If you resize it, I am not sure if the segments will form the required 360 ° angle.

Post-Printing

Wine barrel planter assembly part 1

Try to create a structure as shown in the picture. Hold it with your fingers.

Please ensure the correct orientation of the round bottom cover. The outer slope of of the bottom cover follows the outer segments. Insert the upper ring which should sit in the insets of the staves. Put a rubber band around the staves for better stability. The rubber band should not be too tight or too loose.

Wine barrel planter assembly part 2

Add more segments to the 4 existing segments. Try to hold the existing four segments with your fingers to prevent them from moving. This is the difficult part. The more segments you add the more stable the barrel will get.

Wine barrel planter assembly part 3

When you have added all 19 segments, the barrel should look like shown in the picture. The rubber band still holds everything together.

If the last segment does not fit or if there is a gap at the end, you will have to print one or two of the emergency segments "Planter stave +1mm V1.stl" or "Planter stave -1mm V1.stl". Sorry for that.

Insert the bottom ring. Please make sure that the ring is facing in the correct direction. The upper part of the lower ring is a bit wider the lower part of the lower ring. The ring might fit a bit tight. Take it easy.

Once you have one ring in place the barrel is stable and cannot fall apart any longer.

Wine barrel planter assembly part 4

Add the upper ring. Slide it on from the bottom side. There is no special orientation for it, you cannot go wrong. See the picture below.

Wine barrel planter assembly part 5

The assembly is now complete and you have created a very cute wine barrel planter. Insert the inner pot and add your soil and your favorite plant.

How I Designed This

The wine barrel planter was designed with Blender.
