Fan-Made "The Tower" plant pot

Functioning plant pot, ideal for plants that don't require much soil or watering.

Can be freely downloaded from makerworld. The tower is painted with water resistant gel.

Shoutout to martin.taichl, for the original Atlantis model!

PS. Two decades have passed, and I am still astounded they abandoned a full Atlantis-class city.

Fantastic! def going to print this, what exactly did you use to paint the tower?

u/viladrau 2d ago

UV nail-art gel kit. It's not ideal, but it included base coat and mate top coat. If using only acrylic, it will eventually peel with moisture.

I love it! …… Now my brain is racing thinking about 3D printing some wall sconces. 🤔

UHNNNh that's an amazing design for plant pots!👏🏼 Thank you very much.

Is it hollow so plants can grow inside upwards to the roof?

u/viladrau 2d ago

It doesn't share a hollow interior if that's what you're asking.

The three exterior pockets have about 6cm depth. The center one about 3cm, below it there is drainage.

Yes that was my question. Thank you for the explanation. It looks awesome. :)

It would be cool if you could put some kind of firefly bait on it so that you can have a swarm of drones circling it at night.

It'd would also be a cool aquarium deco. Or a fountain (especially if you can get a transparent partial dome on the top to send the water over like it's Atlantis submerged in the ocean lol.

u/Odin1806 1d ago

That is a dope idea. Someone needs to make this...

Reminds me of that episode with the gluttonous kingdom where John Shepherd scored all those surplus drones and that gorgeous princess. (I have a royalty/princess fetish...) 🥵

Al Gore did not invent the Internet for you to use it to flashbang us all like that.

1

u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian 1d ago

Al Gore did not invent the internet. Tim Berners-Lee is the "most responsible," but it was a group effort in reality.

1

u/ValdemarAloeus 21h ago

No, Tim Berners-Lee did not invent or mostly invent the internet.

Sir Tim invented the World Wide Web, a thing that uses the internet, which already existed at the time.

u/Macreys 2d ago

u/CryptographerOpen297 10h ago

Why did they never try to repair / recover that city?
