I made this planter remix a while ago and forgot about it until I was cleaning the other day, hopefully someone else will find it to be a cute addition to their space! It's a pretty rough remix that was done before I knew how to properly edit models, especially because I had to significantly simplify the mesh before I could edit it. Please excuse any sloppiness that is present because of my edits!

This was made to fit the IKEA FEJKA artificial succulents, which have pot dimensions of about 53mm high, 55mm diameter at the top and 43mm at the bottom. You can likely scale the entire model to fit other artificial plants, or use the version with the drain hole for real plants with a drip tray.

Print Settings

Files are arranged in printing orientation, with the top of the planter/bottom of the head on the build plate. You can use pretty much any materials for this, but you probably want to print with larger layer heights or nozzle sizes (especially if you scale it up any more). I didn't need supports, but if your printer struggles with bridging or overhangs you may need some for the three pieces on the top and the inside of the planter hole. 

The version with a drain hole will likely need supports for the inside, but I haven't printed that one myself so use your best judgement. If you are using real plants, you will also likely want to use a higher wall count or other settings to increase the waterproofness. 

Please share any makes, I'd love to see your plants!

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Crudely simplified the mesh, chopped off the body and legs, and cut out a space for a plant.
