Pineapple Vase (Air Plant Holder)

Initially, I found inspiration online by observing air plants placed atop pinecones, the arrangement strikingly resembling a true pineapple:

Subsequently, I pondered, why not fabricate an authentic pineapple base for the air plant? Thus, this creation came into being:

• Opting for Shapr3D, a software more inclined towards CAD design, I ultimately centered on minimalist abstraction to craft this pineapple-patterned 'vase' The design abstracts the pineapple's form, with upward-spiraling structures combining to emulate the distinctive characteristics of its outer skin
• Indeed, while designated a vase, it is not sealed, and for optimal ventilation, both its body and base are perforated, meticulously designed to foster the growth of air plants
• All intricate structural details have been transitioned seamlessly, effectively eradicating virtually all overhangs within the model, consequently obviating the necessity for supports during printing

To preserve structural integrity, it is generally ill-advised to further diminish the model's dimensions However, the vase can be scaled according to the specific size of your air plant Select a hue that complements your air plant, and thus cultivate your very own pineapple garden
