About Planters
A planter is one of the most satisfying first projects on a new 3D printer: big enough to show off, and useful straight away. Here you will find planters and hanging planters in the same twisted hexagonal style, so they work together as a set.
The Twisted Hex Planter has a drainage hole with a separate saucer and also comes as a vase mode version for a cover pot. The Hanging Hex Planter has three hanging eyes and a built-in water reservoir under a false floor, so no water drips on the floor.
Every planter is digitally checked for printability, prints without supports and fits a 180 mm print bed. Each design lists its dimensions and print settings. For pots that get wet or stand in the sun we recommend PETG; PLA is fine for a dry spot indoors.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best filament for a planter?
PETG, if the planter gets water or sun. It handles moisture, UV and heat better than PLA. For a decorative pot in a dry spot indoors, PLA is fine.
Is a 3D printed planter watertight?
Not automatically. With enough walls (3 or more) and at least 5 bottom layers, ideally in PETG, it becomes watertight in practice. Read our guide to printing watertight planters for all the settings.
Do the planters have drainage holes?
The Twisted Hex Planter has an 8 mm drainage hole and a saucer. The Hanging Hex Planter has a false floor with small holes and a closed reservoir underneath. The vase mode version has no hole.
