Description

Summary

This is an insert for plant pots that has a hole at the bottom for drainage. Insert this thing in a beautiful plat pot that has no drainage hole. You basically plant your flower/plant/succulent directly in here and then place the thing in your pot. This thing is not visible once it's inside your pot.

I've also included a bottom support to keep the plant and earth away from the pot so that the drainage will actually work.

IMPORTANT: There are two models of the insert, one a typical 3D model while the other one is for use in "vase mode" or "spiral vase mode". Vase mode prints much faster and yields a sturdy enough part for use as an insert.

ALSO IMPORTANT: You need to pay attention to two (2) little things:

  1. Drill a hole at the bottom of the insert (or punch it with a blunt instrument!) for drainage
  2. Install the bottom support the right way, with the drainage cutouts at the bottom (as shown in photos). Not a huge deal if you place the support upside down, but the idea is to let any drainage water flow to the entire bottom surface of the pot. The little arms/stars are there to center the part in the port.

Notes:

Print in the same orientation as shown in the images. No supports needed, but I used a brim for the bottom support just in case (very easy to remove). Keep in mind that none of these parts will be visible once in your pot, such finish quality is not important.
