Rotating Planter Pots

thingiverse

I was captivated by AdditiveTech's Helical Gear Cups, but held back by the lengthy print time caused by the intricate design of the model. I decided to create my own compact succulent planter pots that rotate as well - but not meshed together for simpler and faster printing. Each pot has a space in the base for an 608ZZ bearing to facilitate effortless rotating. It's a snug fit, so it might need some gentle coaxing - and once it's in place, it's likely to stay there. However, the rod on the base is a slightly looser fit, allowing you to take the pots off and rearrange them easily. The pots may feel loose without anything inside, but with the weight of soil or stones and a succulent in them, they won't wobble. The base features a channel that will catch any draining water or bits of soil and keep them away from the bearing. Being able to lift the pots off effortlessly also makes cleaning easier if necessary. You can add as many middle base sections as you like. The fit is slightly loose for easier adding, removing, and cleaning. Prints with no supports required. Your printer should easily handle the bridge over the bearing gap without any issues.
