I love transforming digital concepts into physical reality through 3D printing and other crafting methods—sometimes to solve a practical problem, sometimes purely for the sake of art and beauty.

If the preview in the Flower Pot Builder wasn’t showing up for you, it was due to a caching glitch. Sorry about that! It’s fixed now, and everything should work again after a quick page reload. Thanks for your patience!

I’ve just released an update to the Flower Pot Builder! The biggest change: you can now add fillets or chamfers to the main edges of your pot designs. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference.

It feels like the essentials for creating simple, functional flower pots are now in place. What’s left are a few small UI tweaks. If you notice anything that’s still missing or have an idea that could make the tool nicer to use, I’d love to hear from you.

I just added five new features to the flower pot builder — new decoration shapes, a clear visualization of the overhang correction, the maximum diameter display, a twist angle, and improved mesh optimization.

Just finished a design for a large wall-mounted bin! I wanted something functional that also looks clean on a wall or shelf edge. It prints without supports, and doesn't warp, even when printed in PETG.
Details and files are up on the project page: www.printables.com/model/1482023

Just published a new tool: a flower pot builder!
It’s still in beta, but already stable enough to play around with. Compared to my vase generator, this one’s simpler to use. Still early days, but a solid starting point—hope it’s useful!

I just uploaded new saucer alternatives for the quadratic flower pots! 🌱 The LR2508b saucers fit perfectly with the LR2507 and LR2508 series, but they come with a steeper 30º side angle, a bit more height, and extra room around the pot. Enjoy! www.printables.com/model/1145080 #3DPrinting #FlowerPot

When browsing the flood of new uploads on #Printables, I really wonder if it’s worth putting effort into free quality content. Without promo reach, new creator's great models get buried. “Trending” just highlights what’s already popular—feels like the app store issue. #Printables #Prusa3D

Tried help folks find my “painters pyramid” model on #Printables, as it didn’t show up in #search—despite keywords being in the summary and tags. After adding it to the title it appeared 🤷♂️ Feels like keyword-stuffing titles is the only way to be found. Anyone else seen this? @prusa3d.com
