Cauldron Planter

I have removed the original as it was being sold by others without attribution far too often. So the new version has a non-commercial license. Please reach out if you want to sell printed versions.

If you got the first one and want to sell it without contacting me, that's fine, but give credit, it's literally free.

Trimmed my first bonsai tree this past week. Decided to design some cauldron planters to plant the 3 largest trimmings into. Just to remember they were planted in October.

I painted it using a textured undercoating for cars, followed by a matte black primer. The texture came out far closer to black iron than I expected.

Added a hole free version as well.

Edit: At the suggestion of a more plant minded person, I have moved my “watermark” to the bottom of the model to minimize water stagnation in the bottom. So versions 6, 6.4, and 6.12 will have this adjustment.

Added a ½ (1.5mm) thickness walled version to print larger with less plastic. So "Thin" is for anything over 200%. I have attached a picture of one I printed at 250% as a candy dish this year. My son found this display method quite hilarious.

I do a .25 Z support distance with the roof and floor enabled. The supports popped off in one piece.
