Nested Pots Using Rhino and Grasshopper

We had to design and print nested objects using Rhino, grasshopper, Ultimaker Cura, and the Ender 3 3D printer. I design small pots for succulents with a specific space to add handcrafted details to them.

Supplies

  1. Rhino 6
  2. grasshopper
  3. Ultimaker Cura slicer
  4. PLA 3D printing filament
  5. Ender 3
  6. mini pliers

This design was archived by following the instructions provided and with the help of Ana Cardenas. (thank you).

Ultimaker Cura

I designed three small pots for my succulents plants. They have an indentation made with the idea of gluing a braid made of yarn or macrame as a handcrafter detail.

Challenged With the 3D Printer

The first printing efforts were made using a white filament. There is a possibility the filament absorbed water and became humid. This was causing the filament to constantly break when loading.

After changing the filament, the pots were able to print successfully. However. they were not stackable as expected.
