TimPot — Modular Tomato Planter
Created 1 months ago
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

Ballasted Tomato Planter With Cage
Dwarf tomato plants inevitably turn into top-heavy messes that tip over their cheap nursery pots, and generic wire cages never quite fit the rim. This solves both. A heavy-bottomed, 12-inch tall planter shaped specifically to keep a top-heavy plant grounded. The wide 10-inch base drops into an 8-inch waist before swelling back out to give the root ball room, ending in an 8-inch mouth. The bottom inch detaches as a flush-fit drainage saucer, while the rim features deep, built-in sockets. The included custom cage drops directly into those sockets for a rigid 4-inch scaffold that won't slide sideways in the dirt. Sizing & Assembly Total Volume: ~3.2 gallons. Clearances: 0.5mm slip-fit for the saucer joint, 1mm clearance for the cage legs dropping into the rim. Layout: The pot, saucer, and cage are laid out side-by-side. The pot requires a 300x300mm class Z-axis to print at its intended 12-inch scale.
9-Inch Planter Drainage Raiser
A structural insert built to elevate a 9-inch plastic nursery pot inside a decorative ceramic planter. Standing 3 inches tall, it provides a solid base while allowing standing water to drain clear of the roots. The top deck uses a concentric ring and spoke pattern — significantly stronger and faster to lay down than a square grid. The load is carried outward to four tapered pillars set directly under the main intersections. Remix Hooks Total Height: Built at 76.2 mm (3 inches), but the leg pillars can be stretched or squished to match any outer pot depth. Deck Thickness: Starts at 6 mm to handle a 20 lb load without bowing. Leg Taper: Set at 24 mm at the base narrowing to 18 mm at the top — widen the base if you need it to sit on a softer medium instead of a hard ceramic bottom.
120mm Self-Watering Planter
A 120mm diameter by 120mm tall self-watering planter designed to keep moisture-sensitive plants like basil alive. The bottom 30mm acts as a dedicated water reservoir, separated from the soil by a perforated platform and a central wicking column. A built-in fill tube routes water directly to the base, while a side window at the 15mm mark provides a visual water level check and acts as a hard overflow drain to prevent drowning the roots. Starting Points for Remixing Scale and Proportions: Overall footprint is 120x120mm. Stretching the Z-axis is straightforward, but requires manually offsetting the 30mm platform and 15mm overflow window to maintain the reservoir geometry. Platform Flow: The internal drainage perforations are currently set to 3.5mm. Widen these for coarse chunky soil mixes, or tighten the grid spacing for more aggressive root aeration. Wicking Column: The central 40mm wicking cone drops to the base with 10mm side slits. Depending on the soil's capillary action, adjusting the slit height changes how quickly the topsoil hydrates. Print Pairings: Prints as one solid piece without supports. Best paired with PETG for long-term water tightness and UV resistance if placed on a windowsill.
FlowLink Threaded Extension Pipe
A fully 3D-printable, 12-inch extension pipe designed for infinite stacking. The standard slip-fit ends have been replaced with integrated 3mm-pitch metric threads, allowing multiple segments to be screwed together securely without glue. Threaded joints: 21mm male thread with a matching 21.6mm female thread cut into the base, providing 0.6mm of clearance. Support-free design: Internal transitions use 45-degree tapers, eliminating the need for internal supports. Slim profile: Maintains a 25mm outer diameter with a robust 3mm wall.
Straight Cylindrical Pipe
A straight cylindrical pipe with a uniform wall thickness, designed for fluid transfer, structure, or sleeving. Inner Diameter: 60 mm Outer Diameter: 64 mm Wall Thickness: 2 mm Overall Length: 60 mm
Flat-Backed Angled Wall Hook
A 3D-printable wall hook featuring a straight outer spine for a clean visual line against the wall, paired with a curved inner profile that creates a natural resting notch. Straight spine: Sits perfectly parallel to the mounting plate. Inward curve: Adds depth to the hook's catch without thinning the whole shaft. Base plate: 30x30 mm, sized for standard mounting tape.
