Bot Pot With Drainage Plate and Movable Arms!

Here is a guide on how to make your own 3D printable Instructables bot flower pot! I mean, who doesn't love this iconic mascot? I've included the .stl file if you would like to skip to the printing part, but where's the fun in that?

• Tinkercad
• 3D printer

Grab a half cylinder and merge a slightly smaller half cylinder hole inside of the first one. You won't be able to see any openings!

A cube for the head!

Add two sockets to the sides of the body (the sockets can be found under "connectors"). After that, place a hollow cube inside of the head and merge the entire thing.

Slice off some of a half-cylinder to get an arm shape, and add a seated ball to the arm. Merge, and then copy and paste for the second arm.

Add drainage holes to the bottom.

Grab two cylinders and change the dimensions to 3 mm in diameter. Lift the body 5 mm above the surface, and move the cylinders underneath. Merge.

Get a rectangle with the same dimensions as the bottom of the body. Add a slightly smaller rectangle to create an open box - don't merge yet!

Make a leg from a rectangle and a cylinder. Merge and duplicate.

Position the legs and merge the drainage plate.

Get another cylinder and change to 6 mm in diameter. Add a hole in the middle with diameter 4 mm and merge.

Place the centre of these hollow cylinders so that they correspond with the centers of the drainage plate connectors on the body piece. Merge the drainage plate!

Decorate the bot! Use the scribble feature to draw a face.

This is what the bot pot should look like after it has been printed and assembled. Remember, the arm joints snap on after you print them. Enjoy!
