The PLEATS Collection mimics beautiful origami pleats that are simple but impressive in their repetition. PLEATS 001 is 149 mm tall with a 149 mm opening and a 100 mm base. It can be scaled up and down to suit your plant or another purpose.
This pot includes a drainage hole on the bottom for growing live plants and pairs well with my 200 mm Floating Drip Tray to allow for excess runoff.
Printing Guidelines
The PLEATS series of prints are designed to be printed in vase/spiral mode in your slicer. For full scale I suggest printing with a 0.8 mm nozzle width (even with a 0.4mm nozzle) and 1.2mm of solid bottom layers. No top layers.
For the 'wHole' version of the vase mode print, use the maximum number of solid bottom layers before the holes are covered to avoid interfering with the spiral printing. You can also print the version without holes and simply drill/cut your own drainage holes in the bottom after printing if you plan on growing live plants.
I've also included a 'Solid' version for standard printing, with 1mm thick walls. I've found the vase mode version to work well, but certain printers and situations may benefit from the solid version (eg. resin printing).
Photographed models were printed on the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon 3D Printer using Fillamentum PLA Extrafill Sky Blue and Signal Red (also at MatterHackers).* *These affiliate links give me a commission on sales at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting Make Anything!
