Bonsai-style pot
Print Profile(1)

Description
This planter is designed for bonsai cultivation
Its aesthetic is inspired by Japanese and Chinese design traditions
Like authentic bonsai pots, its base features apertures designed to accommodate root-securing wires
Unlike the simple holes found in conventional bonsai pots, these apertures are elongated slits, fostering optimal root development
Its superior drainage minimizes the risk of root rot
Remember to line the base with mesh to prevent soil leakage
Ideal for small bonsai and potted plants
This model utilizes both PLA and PETG filaments during printing, employing distinct materials solely at support interfaces to facilitate effortless support removal
Specifically, use PETG for support interfaces when printing with PLA, and conversely, use PLA for support interfaces when printing with PETG
This technique significantly simplifies support removal and is highly recommended
The pictured example is painted
Painting with water-resistant acrylic paint, potentially sealed with an additional layer of waterproof sealant, is advised
Refrain from painting the pot's interior
While aesthetically pleasing in its matte filament form, consider exploring metallic or ceramic paint finishes for enhanced visual appeal
