Literary Planter

The concept of the Literary Planter with Insert was inspired by the desire to combine the enchantment of classic gardening books with the functionality of a planter. Drawing inspiration from renowned gardening authors like Christopher Lloyd and Anna Pavord, this 3D design aims to meld literary heritage with the practicality of modern gardening.

How It Works:
This Tinkercad-created 3D design is an intricate yet functional planter, with a unique twist:

The exterior of the planter is meticulously designed to resemble the spines and covers of famous gardening books. Each book in the stack showcases the title and author of a beloved gardening classic, creating an aesthetically pleasing and nostalgic display for garden enthusiasts.

Inside the gardening books lies a spacious planting area that accommodates a variety of plants, from small flowers and herbs to succulents or small vegetables.

The most innovative feature of this design is the insert. The insert is a removable, customizable component that can be placed within the planting compartment. It helps prevent overwatering, with excess water channeled away from the roots through a discreet drainage system, ensuring the plants thrive without becoming waterlogged.

A small water reservoir is integrated beneath the planting insert, ensuring consistent moisture levels and reducing the need for frequent watering.

Why It's So Great:
The Literary Book Planter with Insert offers several compelling benefits:

Aesthetic Beauty: It combines the charm of classic gardening literature with the elegance of a bookshelf display, making it a conversation piece that enhances any indoor or outdoor space.

Functionality: The insert design simplifies plant care, making it suitable for gardeners of all levels of expertise. The self-watering and drainage systems ensure plants receive the ideal amount of moisture without constant monitoring.

Educational: It fosters an appreciation for gardening literature and serves as a practical educational tool for novice gardeners looking to cultivate their green thumbs.

Space-Saving: Perfect for small spaces, the planter adds a touch of greenery without taking up valuable floor space.

The Literary Book Planter with Insert encapsulates the fusion of literature, design, and gardening. It pays homage to the wisdom of gardening authors while offering a functional, space-saving solution for plant enthusiasts. This Tinkercad-created 3D design invites users to experience the magic of both reading and gardening in a single, innovative creation.

STL File (105Kb) on Tinkercad. It would fit a small plant and the design is approximately 14x8 cm (with everything grouped separately). Would take approximately ~2h 05 min on our Bambu Lab Printer. The design can be printed as is with most high quality 3D printers. It can be converted to other 3D printer formats.
