No, but I’m bout to now!
is that like a spool per?
The big one, Menippus is a little over 500g at that scale.
So in a world where micro plastics are infecting every aspect of our lives…
You’re not very familiar with 3D printing as a hobby are you.
But yea, it’s probably way worse that the PET you drink your water from.
You may be right…
Just checking comparing this to pottery, thinner/less plastic, or metal…
Or did I miss something by considering the waste from PROTOTYPING everything via spools of plastic? Like I was just talking about planters but if you like, you really have me wondering… what about all the excess plastics prototyping other things… how familiar are you with all that plastic coming off the 3d printing industry? Did I miss something about all this plastic?
We would all be better off knowing what you know. What did I miss?
You’re right about the plastic, but just drop the enlightened snark.
As for pottery, forging, casting etc.: completely different processes, different requirements, “vibe” - may not be possible for OP (ever tried operating a forge in a New York city apartment?), might not be aligned with their skills / interests, financial situation etc.
So, what remains is the question: do you believe 3d printing with plastic should be outlawed or at least strongly regulated as a private hobby?
I have those same clubs. Why isn’t there a Frankensteins Monster head there? It would make a sick planter too.
Have you tried PET-G? Should last longer in the sun than PLA.
I have, most of those are PET-G
I print these containers for my basement hydroponic plants.
My wife has also stolen several to use as traditional soil planters.Print them out of PLA so the sun melts them and they get all deformed

These are great! STL?
They can be found at www.PolymerPeculiarities.com
Yes?
The orange one is silk pla, currently 8+ months outside. It’s starting to get a little brittle
Here from /all, don’t own a 3D printer, but if I did, yes I absolutely would lol
Maybe change it up with some more modern/abstract/famous faces though, the Greek statue look would get old fast… But planters are so expensive for what they are, being able to print my own would really feed my failed plant addiction (I’m no good at actually keeping them alive but I can’t stop buying more) 😂
I love these! Thanks for sharing!

That reminds me of a chaos orb from Path of Exile, it would be a cool planter head
