Friendly Dove Visitor to the Garden Hanging 3D Printed Planter
Nature always has a way of bringing surprises into our lives, and one such delightful surprise visited our backyard recently. It was a friendly dove that stopped by for a snack from the feeder and checked out a 3D printed hanging planter for worms before departing with a chirp. The experience left us feeling grateful for the little moments of joy that nature can bring into our lives.
The hanging planter that caught the dove’s attention is a product of modern technology – a testament to how far we have come in the world of manufacturing. It was 3D printed using wood PLA filament on a Monoprice MP-10 with a modified glass bed. The use of wood PLA filament gives the planter a rustic appearance, which blends perfectly with the natural surroundings of our backyard. The Monoprice MP-10 is a budget-friendly, yet efficient 3D printer, which made the production of this hanging planter possible.
One of the challenges of 3D printing is ensuring that the first layer of the print adheres well to the bed. This is crucial in preventing the print from coming loose and ruining the final product. To overcome this challenge, we applied a layer of 3D print stick on the glass bed, which helped the small top contour of the planter stick to the bed without needing to use a brim or raft. This technique not only ensures a smooth printing process but also reduces the risk of damaging the print.
The hanging planter has since become home to a group of succulents, which are known for their hardiness and low maintenance requirements. They are the perfect choice for our busy lifestyle, and the planter has added a touch of greenery and beauty to our outdoor space. The succulents are thriving, and the planter has proven to be a great addition to our backyard.
It’s amazing how technology and nature can come together in such a harmonious way. The 3D printed hanging planter and the friendly dove visitor are two examples of how we can appreciate the beauty of both worlds. While the planter was created with the help of modern technology, it provides a home for natural succulents, which in turn attracts wildlife such as the dove. It’s a reminder that we can use technology to enhance our lives without losing touch with the natural world.
In conclusion, the visit from our friendly dove visitor was a pleasant surprise that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our day. It was a reminder of the beauty of nature and how technology can work together with it to create something special. The 3D printed hanging planter is a testament to the advancements in manufacturing and the potential for it to coexist with nature. We feel grateful for these little moments of joy and hope to continue to cherish them as we go about our daily lives.
