Orchid Holder

thingiverse

This is a remix of an orchid pot/holder made by SkatLA. I attempted printing the original, but it came out kind of rough because the pillars were too tall and had nothing to support them. So in my design, I shrunk the height by about 25% (partially to make it easier/faster to print, but mostly just because it was too tall for my plant), and added an interesting spiral pattern that adds additional support so the print isn't as fragile. I've included a blender file of the model. The spiral and the planter are two separate objects. IMPORTANT: I've already fixed it in the supplied STL file, but by default Cura doesn't seem to like overlapping models and creates holes where the models intersect. Cura has an option "Union overlapping volumes" that's *supposed* to fix this, however it didn't seem to do anything in Cura 4.7.1. I resolved this by using the boolean modifier in blender and "cutting out" where the models intersect, so instead of a gap it essentially prints the spiral nested inside the pillar.
