I couldn't find a flower pot that fit my needs. I needed a lot of drainage because I water too much, and I wanted a low maintenance way to collect the water without making a mess.
There are a lot of cool ones on here, but almost all go for form over function.
There were some good 4" ones on Amazon that were too small and some 6" ones that were a bit too big, and all of them drained bad or looked bad.
This is my answer to that.
If you print it, you'll need support for the bottom lip of the top part, and as many walls as possible to keep it water tight. You can use the water and school glue or epoxy or poly trick to coat the insides if you do have leaks.
I designed this with a 0.8mm nozzle in mind, but I'm sure 0.4mm will work, but will take much longer.
After making 20 of these, I designed a thinner version to save time and plastic. I probably should have done that originally. I could also use a shorter version for Bonsai and maybe a larger version too, so I made a SMALL and a LA
