My first attempt at designing an insert for outdoor planters, but it can just as easily be used as a standalone pot. If printed in vase mode the walls are likely to warp but this actually gives the pot extra rigidity if you don't mind it being ugly. Should be printed in PETG if used outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight.
