I made this planter (<- imgur gallery) to sell at a pair of craft fairs I'm attending this month and next. I needed something small enough I could fit a few of them on the 6 foot table. I can make them in any color but I love how the black and white turned out.

I would like to have one with a plant in it to showcase it on the table and was hoping you all would have some suggestions (this community always has great suggestions!)

It's about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

A small two-tone planter with a smooth curved shape, fading from matte black at the base to bright white at the top. It sits on a matching circular tray with raised slats designed to promote drainage and evaporation. The minimalist design suits modern, clean interiors.

Non-Amrrican here. This looks like a civil war era hat.

    oh no! I was certainly not going for that! I'm not sure how to respond to that.

    Are the blocky corners on the outside intentional or did you forget to raise the polygon/vertex count?

    Very cool! Nice design. Do you sell the STL file too? I want to print one of these at like 250% scale.

    Second comment, so I've been working on resizing it to 34ish cm diameter. Got it there though not optimized super well. It's going to use almost 1200g of filament over the two spools. Crazy.

    Wow! I have no idea how big cm are but that's a shit ton of plastic! What's your infill percentage look like on that one?

    10% infill and that's about 13" diameter. Going to need to order another pair of spools to make that one.

    I don't generally. Though I've released a few over the years. I am actually planning on making a 35cm diameter sized one. It's not parametric so it won't scale up nicely. I'll need to just remake it.
