This is my entry in the MyMiniFactory Tinkercad 3D Design Competition. I choose to design a modern day Desk Sized Planter that doubles as a NightLight and I'm calling it MoonLight. After about 3 dozen or so design changes and prints, I believe this is the final version... (for now LOL) It prints in Four individual pieces for color customization and design changes. The Flower Pot itself has a honeycomb mesh base plate to prevent soil from clogging the drain hole for excess water. Inside the base, houses the drip tray, LED Lights, and LED USB controller. The NighLight function is powered by a single, standard USB connector that can easily be plugged into any desktop computer, laptop or USB power supply. The LEDs are the typical SMD type found on Amazon. Be sure to only use ones with an RF (radio Frequency) controller, because the IR type won't work through the printed plastic. I really enjoyed designing and making this project, and I hope that MyMiniFactory Has future competitions like this!
All printing/slicing was done with SLIC3R on a Wanhao Duplicator I3 V2.1 at a 0.2 resolution using 3D Solutech PLA Filament. The flower pot was printed upside down without any supports @ 100% infill. The Base was printed upright with 15% honeycomb infill. The Honeycomb plate and drip tray were both printed upright @ 100% infill. Be sure to use at least 3 to 4 perimeter lines and top and bottom layers to keep it watertight.
