About the design
Smooth ribs wind up the planter, which stands on raised pads inside a matching drip tray so water drains away from the pot. The pot never narrows towards the top, so a plant comes out in one piece. Its walls are whole extrusion lines thick at every size, and every surface leans 45 degrees or less, so it prints without supports. The vase shares the shape and prints as one continuous wall in spiral vase mode.
