Free, Configurable Ceramic Flowerpot Template to Print

About this flowerpot

A flowerpot with sloped walls that you can make round (a cone frustum) or rectangular (four trapezoid walls), with a drainage hole in the base whose diameter you set. By default the round one is a 150mm rim, 100mm foot and 120mm tall, and the rectangular one has a 120×90mm base, a 140×110mm rim and is 110mm tall — everything is adjustable.

How to use the template

  1. Open the tool with the flowerpot already selected, choose the shape (round or rectangular) and adjust rim, foot, height and drainage hole diameter with the sliders.
  2. Check the 3D preview to confirm the proportions before printing.
  3. Print at true 1:1 scale (with the 100×100mm calibration square) or download the SVG.
  4. Cut the wall and the base from a rolled slab, join the walls along the marked edge, attach the base and cut out the drainage hole as shown on the pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a rectangular flowerpot?

Yes: you choose between a round shape (a cone frustum) and a rectangular one (four flat trapezoid walls). On the rectangular one the 3D preview doesn't show the drainage hole yet, but it's cut out on the base pattern.

How do I set the drainage hole?

With a diameter slider: Moldea caps the maximum so firm clay is left around the hole, and draws it on the base pattern.

What are the default measurements?

Round: 150mm rim, 100mm foot and 120mm tall. Rectangular: 120×90mm base, 140×110mm rim and 110mm tall. All of them can be changed.
