TimPot — Modular Tomato Planter
Created today
Description
A maximum-volume planter specifically designed to push an Ender 3 v2 build volume to its absolute limits. Featuring an organic, double-curved silhouette, it maximizes soil space for a Tiny Tim tomato plant without exceeding the 220x220mm bed constraints.
Features
- Maximized Internal Volume: Pushes the Z-axis up to 250mm and bulges out at the top section to hold as much soil as the build plate will allow.
- Integrated Drainage: A raised drainage floor inside the pot allows water to escape directly into the matching form-fitted saucer underneath.
- Modular Tomato Cage: Instead of sticking stakes into the soil, the included 4-inch supporting cage drops cleanly into integrated slots molded right into the flared lip.
Print Notes
Everything fits precisely onto a 220mm square bed. The pot, saucer, and cage are printed separately. A standard 0.4mm nozzle with somewhat thicker perimeters (3-4 walls) is recommended for water-tightness. A 0.6mm nozzle will do a good job and be a bit faster. will be faster

Modular PEX Hub with Stake
An inline four-way tee fitting for standard 1/2" PEX, featuring an integrated top-mounted adjustable water dripper. Built to string together in series for garden irrigation loops. This version features a modular two-piece base, splitting the long ground stake away from the main distribution body. Connections: Four 1/2" PEX barbs form a versatile hub. Unused branches can be sealed with the included block-off cap. Metering: A threaded upper cap with an internal conical needle regulates flow rate out of a 2mm orifice. Removable Stake: A heavy-duty 6-inch threaded stake screws firmly into the bottom of the hub, printing flat for strength. Printing Note: The separated stake prints easily lying down, while the base requires supports beneath the horizontal barbs to print correctly on the bed.
2-Way PEX Hub with removable Stake
A four-way distribution manifold for standard 1/2" PEX tubing, complete with a ground stake and modular caps. This version strips out the internal metering needle on the top cap for unrestricted flow, making it a straight-through distribution hub. The Base: Four 1/2" PEX branches with standard barbs (13.5mm max OD, 11.5mm min OD). The internal channels are fully punched through. The Stake: A 6-inch (152.4mm) stake that threads into a blind hole on the bottom of the hub, keeping the water path sealed. The Caps: Includes a top cap (M14x2 threads) and a block-off cap (M22x2 threads) for closing off unused side branches. Remixing: The M14 top thread is standard enough that you could easily swap the blank cap for a custom dripper, a gauge mount, or a bleed valve. The blind hole on the bottom can also be tapped deeper if you want to route water down instead.
Modular Sofa Frame Clip
A heavy-duty snap-fit clip for keeping modular garden sofa frames locked together. It clamps over two adjacent square tubes to stop the sections from drifting apart on the patio. Remix Hooks Tube size: Currently sized for 20mm square tubing. Measure your frame before printing. Wall thickness: Set at 5mm for rigidity. If it's too tough to snap over the metal, drop this down to 3mm or 4mm. Grip length: Extruded to 40mm long. Print a short 10mm test slice first to check the snap fit.
Planter Solar Canopy Mast
Plants roast in direct midday sun while flat-laying solar panels waste table space and inevitably get knocked onto the floor. This cantilevered mast bolts directly to the back of the soil basin, hoisting a 140mm square solar mounting plate squarely over the canopy. It acts as an umbrella for the soil while capturing the light that would otherwise scorch the leaves, keeping the footprint entirely vertical. Mast Clearances Mast Height: 250mm from soil rim to canopy plate Mount Plate: 140x140mm flat surface Standoff Base: 40mm wide clamping surface against the basin wall
1/2" PEX Adjustable Dripper Tee
An inline tee fitting for standard 1/2" PEX, featuring an integrated top-mounted adjustable water dripper. Built to string together in series for garden irrigation loops. Connections: Dual 1/2" PEX barbs form a continuous horizontal run. Metering: A threaded upper cap with an internal conical needle regulates flow rate out of a 2mm orifice. Flow Bypass: Cutaway slots on the stem threads let water escape radially beneath the cap once cracked open. Printing Note: The base requires supports beneath the horizontal barbs to print correctly on the bed.
Garage Vent to 6-Inch Adapter
A custom 2-part venting adapter designed to connect a 360x210mm drywall vent gap to a standard 6-inch exhaust duct. Two-Part Assembly: Splits perfectly down the middle with a 10mm external flat flange for easy gluing. Tapered Male Fitting: Connects securely inside standard 6-inch ducting. Support-Free Print: Internal lofts are designed to print cleanly with no supports while encouraging laminar exhaust flow. Mounting Integration: Six #6 screw holes for securing to drywall, with an extended bottom footing to rest cleanly on a garage concrete foundation.
