Parametric Planter

This model is inspired by Sassy Design's Dragon scales pot planter but as you can see it is all my own design, so I have not done it as a remix.

Print in Vase Mode

HOW TO ALTER PARAMETERS:

• When you open the file in openscad it should show these parameters right at the top:
• scale_width = 30;
  diameter = 90;
  scale_number = 11;
  scale_angle = 10;
  height = 90;
• Simply change the numbers to you plant's size(mm) and then press F5 to preview your progress, once you are happy with the result export the file.

HOW TO EXPORT:

• Once you have altered the parameters accordingly you can export the file as an stl for 3d printing, you do this by pressing F6 on your keyboard to render and then pressing file in the top right, then pressing export and then export as stl

Parameters:

• Scale width: This is the size of each scale
• Diameter: This is the width of your planter(NOTE: Add a few millimeters to this just to make sure it works)
• Scale_number:This is the number of scales per ring of you planter(NOTE: Too few scales can lead to scaleless spots in your planter)
• Scale_angle: The angle the scale points away from the planter, it doesn't make a big difference but can be interesting to mess around with
• Height: The height of your planter
