3D printed planter

[Jacoda88]

Its really hard to find the right size, right color and right function planters so I decided to design my own
9.5cm X 9.5cm X 11cm height(include the drain saucer)
Printed in PETG @ 100% infill, can be used with or without the drain pan
It can fit a 4" orchid insert if you need to keep the roots aerate

Is it hard to figure out how much each one costs? I guess the plastic and power is easy but the depreciation of the printer would be tricky.

You can get about 9 sets per 1kg of filament, 1kg of PETG filament cost about $25 to $30CAD on Amazon right now, so about $3.00CAD per planter set.

My printer sometimes prints non stop for weeks without seeing any detrimental effect to the printer, only part I have to replace every once a while is the nozzle which cost about $1 each, so the depreciation factor is not something I have in mind.

Looks like a great design! Thank you for sharing!

Depreciation is more what the printer cost and how long you'll use it. Good to see that maintenance is cheap.
