"Love Grows" Heart Planter - 8cm Tall

This is a special edition of my modern planter series, featuring a repeating Heart Pattern designed specifically for Valentine's Day.

I created this as an entry for the Valentine's 2026 Contest. It is the perfect 3D printed gift for a loved one—just add a small succulent or flowering plant, and you have a handmade, thoughtful present that lasts longer than a bouquet.

Design Details

• Theme: A seamless texture of hearts wraps around the entire vessel. The relief pattern creates beautiful shadows, adding depth to the print.
• Size: This is the 8cm tall version, designed to fit standard 10cm (4 inch) nursery pots.
• Function: It works perfectly as a cachepot (decorative cover), so you can drop a store-bought plant straight in without the mess of re-potting.

Print Settings

• Material: Red, Pink, or White PLA is the obvious choice here!
  • Pro Tip: Silk PLA makes the hearts pop, while Matte PLA gives it a modern, ceramic look.
• Walls/Perimeters: 3 walls recommended.
• Infill: 10-15% (Gyroid).
• Layer Height: 0.20mm.
• Supports: None required. The geometry of the hearts is designed to be self-supporting, making this an easy, stress-free print for last-minute gifts.

Why Print This? Flowers wilt, but a 3D printed planter is forever! This is a quick, print-in-place gift that looks professional and fits easily into any home decor.

Happy Valentine's Day
