Triangle Flower Pot in Various Sizes

Embracing geometric simplicity, this Triangle Flower Pot boasts a minimalist design with a subtle 6º angle on its sides, lending a unique presence to your garden or interior space. The wide classic rim showcases perfect geometries, especially at the corners, marrying form and function in a single design.

The pot's intentionally plain sides serve as a canvas for your creativity, inviting you to add your own patterns or modifications. It's a versatile piece, ready to be personalized or left as-is for a sleek, modern look. Beneath, drainage holes are thoughtfully integrated with stabilization ribs, ensuring your plants’ health and the pot’s stability.

Finding the perfect model amidst the large number of variants has never been easier! Take a look at the detailed PDF catalog in the "Other Files" section in the “Files” tab. This catalog provides a visual overview of all the models in this project, complete with dimensions, to help you quickly find exactly what you need.

But it's more than just a visual treat; the catalog includes organized tables that let you easily compare models based on specific parameters. Once you've spotted the model that meets your criteria, just search for its filename on the project page to easily download the right file.

Printing the Triangle Pot

Here are the print recommendations to create a durable and beautiful pot:

Choosing the Right Material

• PETG for its durability and weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• PLA as a viable option for indoor decorative use.
• ASA for the best weather resistance and durability, recommended for experts due to its printing challenges.

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.

Choosing the Right Side Thickness

The models not only have different sizes, but also three side thicknesses.

• S17 (1.68mm): The thinnest variant is best suited for rigid filament. It is ok for smaller pots, but definitely too weak for pots that are equal or greater than 200mm in height.
• S20 (2.0mm): The medium thickness gives more stability and works well for soft materials like PETG. A good compromise, for medium sized indoor pots.
• S25 (2.5mm): My recommendation. This thickness provides excellent structural support for the sides of the pot, even for very large prints. These prints withstand outdoor conditions, even when moved filled with heavy wet soil.

Dimensions

The file name LR2410-S25-H200-D260.3mf is a guide to the pot's dimensions, with S25 indicating a robust side thickness of 2.5mm, H200 denoting a height of 200mm, and D260 as the maximum diameter, making it the perfect size for a variety of plants.

Matching Triangle Plant Saucer

To complement your Triangle Flower Pot, consider the Triangle Plant Saucer in Various Sizes. This saucer mirrors the geometric precision of the pot, ensuring a cohesive look while providing practical benefits. Its design features the same angles and classic rim, maintaining the aesthetic flow from pot to saucer.

Also a good match: Soft Rounded Triangle Plant Saucers with Decorative Rim

Locating the Model Files

All the 3D models for the pot and saucer can be found in the “Files” tab, nestled under the “Other Files” category. To streamline your experience, I've organized them into separate ZIP files based on file format—choose from STL, 3MF, or STEP files according to your needs. Simply download the ZIP file that corresponds with the format you require.

FAQ

Are there models with a thinner bottom?

No. Either the bottom thickness depends on the side thickness, or it is fixed for all models. In most slicer software, you can easily change this dimension.

Move the model into the printer bed, by changing the Z position to a negative value. The slicer will then cut that section off. So, if the bottom is 2.4mm thick, you can move the model to negative 0.6mm, what gives you a new bottom thickness of 1.8mm.

Make sure to check the sliced result for any side effects before printing!

What is the best looking saucer diameter for this pot?

For the best look, choose a saucer that has a gap between 10-20mm between the pot and the rim. As the matching saucer has the same rim with that the pot, you can simply look at the difference from the top to the bottom side.

The following contains the rounded values, how many millimetres the bottom is inset at the side. It is a theoretical line, which does not include the rim.

If you have a pot with a diameter of 260mm and a height of 200mm, that has a 6º angle at the side, the inset is about 21mm. That would compare to a diameter of 218 at the bottom.

So, if you print a saucer with 240mm diameter, 22mm larger than this imaginary diameter, it adds about 11mm to each side, which looks neat.

To verify your choice, load the pot and saucer into the same slicer project so that they overlap in the centre of the printer bed. That way you can visually confirm if your choice looks good.
