Modular container planter V2

Modular Container planter V2, (V1 version, uses different key and dims).

Now hear me out…again…

These Brooklea (Aldi) yoghurt tubs are a good size and functionality for; planters, containers, paint scuttles, leftover foods, cat treat storage and hats for gnomes. They're too good to keep sending to recycling/landfill -they are waterproof, solid, and have a lid. I use two per month, so I built a design round them.

This specific yoghurt tub is Aldi (Trader Joes?) but other brand of peanut butter etc use similar dims.

Both planter design come with a discreet key slot to fix together multiples of both designs should you want to. The lids are interchangable meaning you could swap things in an out the fridge if needed. The kiwis ripen at home so I buy in bulk and have them on rotation.

This design doesn't need to table-mounted, and could happily screw to a wall for displaying artefacts.

I use a 0.6 nozzle with a 0.36 layer height usually, giving a 7.5hr print. A 0.4 nozzle is significantly longer, but I understand this is most people's weapon of choice.

NOTE You'll get a stringing around the threaded part of the main pot when printing , this is because of the overhangs and/or retractions around the thread. However this is because I've shelled the walls as thinly as possible in Fusion to reduce filament. Also…it doesn't bother me as the yoghurt tub hides any anomalies inside.

The print profile is 0% infill except for the base and lid where I've added modifiers to give support to print appropriately. You're welcome to dial in your preferred settings, but I assure these settings are drop-proof.

Thanks for visiting, see my other models for the V1 version. And yes, on reflection that green isn't the best choice. And yes, yoghurt does contain an h.
