🪴 The ultimate customizable parametric flower pot generator!

Stop buying cheap plastic pots that never perfectly fit your specific plants or windowsills. This fully parametric OpenSCAD generator allows you to create the exact planter you need, complete with a perfectly scaled matching saucer. Whether you need a tiny geometric succulent pot, a massive round planter for your patio, or a custom square herb box, this tool generates it instantly.

⚙️ Customizer features:

• Instant size presets: Do not want to mess with manual sliders? Simply select a preset like mini (for succulents), small (for herbs), or large (for massive houseplants). The algorithm automatically scales the walls and holes perfectly.
• 4 Unique styles: Choose between a classic smooth round pot, a modern faceted octagon, a geometric hexagon, or a clean square planter.
• Support-free decorative rim: Add a premium top collar to your pot. The algorithm mathematically calculates a flawless 45-degree transitional chamfer under the lip, allowing it to print perfectly without any support material.
• Dynamic drainage system: Customize the exact number and size of your drainage holes to prevent root rot. You can even toggle the central drainage hole independently.
• Auto-matching saucer: Enable render_saucer and the code will automatically generate a perfectly fitting drip tray next to your pot on the build plate. You can easily adjust the saucer_clearance to make it as snug or loose as you prefer.

🧠 Behind the design (For makers & moderators)

Creating a planter with a pronounced top lip usually requires messy slicer supports that ruin the surface finish. To solve this, the generator utilizes a mathematically optimized support-free chamfer.

By analyzing the user's requested rim_width and rim_height, the code dynamically forces the transitional height (trans_h) to equal the exact width of the overhang. This mathematical limit guarantees a perfect 45-degree angle that any modern 3D printer can bridge flawlessly. Additionally, the saucer generation algorithm automatically reads the base diameter of the pot, adds the requested clearance and wall thickness, and perfectly offsets the tray on the X-axis so both parts can be sliced together without intersecting.

🖨️ Print settings:

• Material: PETG or ASA is highly recommended! They are naturally more waterproof than PLA and will not warp if you place your plants in a hot, sunny window.
• Layer height: 0.20mm or 0.28mm works beautifully for fast, thick walls.
• Supports: STRICTLY NONE. The rim chamfer prints perfectly in mid-air.
• Infill: 15% (Gyroid).
• Walls: Set wall loops to at least 3 or 4 to ensure the pot is completely watertight and structurally strong enough to hold wet soil.
