Planter Drainage Mats

thingiverse

I needed some quick little drainage mats and couldn't find anything that was just right so I created these for small planters! Print with 100% infill, and your choice on layer height, should be a fast print. The rectangular mat is 62x100mm and has a thickness of 2.5mm, if you know how you are able to make the mat thinner, but it will be at the risk of snapping when removing from your bed if you're not careful it also helps to print with a 20 line brim. These mats are easily secured with wire, but I had made this to fit the whole base of my pot and would recommend scaling as well. The circular mat is 45mm and can be scaled to fit. I managed to print successfully without a brim by removing it as soon as it finished and flattening it using the remaining heat of the hot bed, tabs on the side are meant to hold a glue if desired, but I have found that melting the corners with a match inside the pot works great!
