Description
One weekend I stepped out onto my porch and noticed a small plant growing in an old seed starter tray that had been sitting there for a couple of years. I had completely forgotten about it.
When I took a closer look, the leaves reminded me of a maple tree, so I used Google Lens to see what it was. To my surprise, it identified it as a Red Maple! That was especially unexpected since I only have one tree in my yard—and it definitely isn't a maple.
Since I'd been thinking about planting another tree anyway, I decided to see if I could help this little volunteer grow. I searched MakerWorld for a planter and printed a couple of designs, but after seeing them in person, they just weren't what I was looking for. So I figured, "Why not design my own?"
That's exactly what I did.
I created this planter in four different sizes, so whether you're starting a tiny seedling or need something a bit larger, there's an option that should fit your needs.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed designing it. As always, happy printing!
