👀 About the Eyes

The included eyes are designed to be press-fit without glue.

Depending on your printer's tolerances, you may need:

• A small amount of sanding
• A tiny drop of glue

The eyes are intentionally asymmetrical and have a specific orientation:

• The hollow side should face toward the inside of the planter
• The more detailed side should face outward

For the best visual result, I recommend keeping the provided orientation.

🖨️ Printing Notes

All provided print profiles have been prepared with easy-to-remove supports.

Due to the shape of the model, the planter remains relatively support-intensive, but the supports should detach cleanly with minimal post-processing.
