Bio
Designer and maker from Sweden. I create parametric planters and pots for 3D printing - exploring how geometry, texture, and form can turn a simple pot into something special. I'm building Potforge Studio (potforge.com), a browser-based tool that lets anyone design their own unique 3D-printable planters. Choose a shape, add textures, tweak modifiers, and export ready-to-print files. No CAD experience needed. Currently printing on a Bambu Lab P1S. All my designs are original and tested with verified print profiles. Follow for new planter designs and updates on the Potforge Studio launch!

5 Parametric Planters - Designed using Algorithm
5 Parametric Planters - Designed using AlgorithmI've been building a parametric pot design tool where every curve, rib, and surface pattern is generated from math. Where you pick a base shape - cylinder, polygon, or star - then stack modifiers like twist, bulge, and taper. Add a texture, set your dimensions, and the geometry rebuilds in real-time. No sculpting, no manual CAD work. Just parameters. Here are the first five designs I've released, and uploaded. Every one was printed on a P1S with Bambu PLA Matte - I have made sure that no supports needed for any of them from the software.Sphere — Ribbed Bulge PotBulge modifier + vertical ribs + horizontal bands. The rounded profile and fine texture give it a handmade pottery feel - people who see this one in person always assume it's ceramic until they pick it up.PLA Matte Caramel · 98 × 161 mm · ~9h · 0.20mm / 15% / 2 walls🔗 Download Sphere PlanterCyclone — Hexagonal Spiral Rib PotHexagonal base with spiral ribs wrapping the full surface. The ribs create a flowing rotational pattern that catches light differently from every angle.PLA Matte Dark Green · 70 × 180 mm · ~7h · 0.20mm / 15% / 2 walls🔗 Download Cyclone PlanterCrater — Star Pot with Fuzzy SkinStar-shaped cross-section with a fuzzy skin finish that gives it a raw, volcanic texture. The sharp star valleys combined with the rough surface make it feel geological - like it was formed, not printed.PLA Matte Ash Gray · 100 × 206 mm · ~8h · 0.20mm / 15% / 2 walls🔗 Download Crater PlanterVortex — Twisted Hex Pot with Vertical RibsSix-sided base that rotates from bottom to top, with vertical ribs following the twist. The dark chocolate matte finish turns the ribs into shadow lines - like carved wood.PLA Matte Dark Chocolate · 80 × 114 mm · ~5h · 0.20mm / 15% / 2 walls🔗 Download Vortex PlanterHelix — Twisted Star PotPure geometry, no texture. A star cross-section that twists dramatically as it rises, carving deep spiral channels into the surface. Sometimes the shape itself is the texture.PLA Matte Dark Green · 94 × 162 mm · ~6.5h · 0.20mm / 15% / 2 walls🔗 Download Helix PlanterPrinting NotesAll five share the same settings: 0.20mm layers, 15% infill, 2 walls, no supports. PLA Matte hides layer lines and makes textures look intentional rather than printed. None of these have drainage holes - they work as decorative cover pots for standard nursery inserts. The tool itself would let you add drainage holes and saucer, but for the plants I am using these for I wanted without saucer. Let me know if you want me to upload thoose options for any of the pots.The Full FamilyHere's some of what I've printed so far from the parametric generator, more every day. Five are uploaded (the ones above), but there are plenty more sitting on the shelf. Which brings me to...What Should I Upload Next?I want to hear what you're most interested in. Take a look at the family photo and drop a letter (or a few!) in the comments:A) Brown ribbed cylinder with matching saucer - classic round pot with vertical ribs and a plate B) Gray square pot with organic stone texture - small cube with a Voronoi crackle surface C) Dark blue tapered cylinder with stone texture - tall, dramatic, deep blue with an organic crackle finish D) Brown ribbed cylinder with caramel spiral-cut saucer - round pot paired with a diagonal-cut wrap plate E) White ribbed cylinder with gray stone-textured saucer - clean white pot with a contrasting textured plate F) Dark blue hexagonal bulge with honeycomb texture - wide hex shape with a honeycomb surface pattern G) Gray cylinder with diamond crosshatch texture - round pot with X-pattern grooves H) 💬 Something I haven't made yet - describe your dream planter in the comments. What shape, what texture, what size? I can generate new combinations with the parametric engine, so if you have an idea for something you've never seen as a printable planter, I'd love to hear it. The most requested designs get uploaded first! If you print any of these five, I'd love to see your results — drop a photo in the comments or tag me.— @Potforge
