Classic Curved Flower Pot with Wavy Decorative Lines in four Heights

This classic curved flower pot takes inspiration from the wide, elegant shapes of Roman vases, adding a unique twist with its wavy decorative lines. These lines artfully wrap around the vase, echoing its curves from the rim to the bottom. In a dance of form and shadow, each line waves to the right in the top third, then gracefully shifts to the left in the second third, perfectly capturing the essence of Roman aesthetics.

The pot is further enhanced with practical features like drainage holes and stabilization ribs at the bottom, ensuring optimal plant health and pot stability. This blend of functional design and classical beauty makes the pot an ideal choice for any garden or outdoor space.

How to Print the Classic Curved Flower Pot

In the files section, you'll find PrusaSlicer example projects, offering basic settings as a starting point for your prints.

This flower pot is designed to be 3D printed with ease, accommodating various nozzle sizes and recommended materials to suit your preferences and the capabilities of your printer. Below are the print recommendations to achieve the best results:

Choosing the Right Material

• PETG for its durability and weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• PLA as a viable option for indoor decorative use.
• ASA for the best weather resistance and durability, recommended for experts due to its printing challenges.

Nozzle Size and Layer Height

The pot is designed to print effectively with 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzles, accommodating all wall thicknesses. Select a layer height appropriate for your nozzle size, and always review the sliced result before printing. Aim for the walls to be printed solely with perimeter lines, free of infill. For prints using a 0.4mm nozzle, consider increasing the number of perimeters to three or more for optimal results.

Choosing the Right Side Thickness

The models not only have different sizes, but also three side thicknesses.

• S17 (1.68mm): The thinnest variant is best suited for rigid filament. It is ok for smaller pots, but definitely too weak for pots that are equal or greater than 200mm in height.
• S20 (2.0mm): The medium thickness gives more stability and works well for soft materials like PETG. A good compromise, for medium sized indoor pots.
• S25 (2.5mm): My recommendation. This thickness provides excellent structural support for the sides of the pot, even for very large prints. These prints withstand outdoor conditions, even when moved filled with heavy wet soil.

Dimensions

The pot is available in four different heights to suit a variety of plants and spaces. The example file name LR2409-S25-H200-D350.3mf provides insight into the dimensions:

• S25 for the side thickness of 2.5mm, offering robustness.
• H200 for the height, accommodating medium to large plants.
• D350 for the diameter, providing ample space for healthy root growth.

Matching Saucer

• Round and Plain Plant Saucer
• Octagonal Plant Saucer
