This is a nice reusable pot. Looking forward to printing a bunch of these! Thanks for the model!

Had this for a couple of years. The folding pots are great, but I don't use them anymore because my garden is thriving. I do use the tray and spacer for marigolds every year though. (edited)
Scaled down to about 80% to fit two on my printer, which weakened some of the print-in-place hinges, but they'll still work. Great design! Hope this helps with the odd seedling failing to take hold here and there.
This is an excellent print, going to find & print a shallow tray to catch any leakage from watering. Thanks so much for sharing!
Loving this print. Very nice
Printing with the supplied gcode files was flawless, made a great birthday present for my mom.
This is a very cool idea and I'm gonna try it out soon. reading through your comments I have one suggestion:
To remove the requirement for elephants foot compensation to be on, apply a chamfer to the face that will contact the build plate. (chamfer is an edge treatment like a fillet, but it squares off an edge rather than rounding it over)
i'd suggest a 0.4mm chamfer
Thanks for the input! I considered adding a chamfer or fillet to the face, but I didn't end up going with it because I was worried about whether it would print well against the build plate. Thinking on it that would likely make it much easier to line up the features too, great idea, thanks!!
