About this design
The Twisted Hex Planter is a hexagonal planter you print yourself. Its six sides twist a quarter turn (90 degrees) over the height and the pot bulges slightly, so each side catches the light differently, even when printed in a single colour.
You get three files:
- Planter (102 × 97.8 × 110 mm) with a 2 mm wall and an 8 mm drainage hole in the floor.
- Saucer (98 × 85.4 × 10 mm) that sits under the pot to catch water.
- Vase mode version: the same shape as a solid model, to print with spiral vase (vase mode). It has no drainage hole and is meant as a decorative cover pot for a nursery pot.
Everything prints without supports and is digitally checked for printability.
Print tips: 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 15% infill for the planter and saucer. For the vase mode version, enable spiral vase in your slicer and use a 0.6 mm line width for a sturdier single wall. PETG is the better choice if the pot gets moisture or sun; for a dry indoor windowsill PLA is fine.
Want a matching hanging pot? See the Hanging Hex Planter in the same style. You get three STL files and one 3MF.

Frequently asked questions
Does the planter have a drainage hole?
Yes, the standard planter has an 8 mm drainage hole with a saucer underneath. The vase mode version has no hole and is meant as a cover pot for a nursery pot.
What is vase mode?
Vase mode (spiral vase) is a slicer setting where the printer lays down one continuous spiral wall with no seam and no infill. It is fast and gives a smooth outside. Use a 0.6 mm line width for a sturdier wall.
Is a vase mode planter watertight?
Not always. A single wall can have tiny leaks. That is why the vase mode version is meant as a cover pot with a nursery pot inside. See our guide to watertight planters.
How big is the planter?
The planter is 102 × 97.8 mm wide and 110 mm tall. The saucer is 98 × 85.4 × 10 mm.
