Blender Design Basics for 3D Printing | 4 Easy Plant Pots with the Bambu Lab P1S

Hey everyone! It’s Kevin—back with another Blender tutorial for 3D printing. In this video, I’m walking you through how I designed these 4 custom plant pots, all modeled in Blender and printed on my Bambu Lab P1S. If you’re new to 3D printing or just getting into Blender, this one’s beginner-friendly—and part of my Blender Basics for 3D Printing series. I’ll walk you step-by-step through my full process: from measurements and modeling to slicing and tips for making these functional—whether you want them as decorative cover pots or plan to plant directly into them. We’ll cover: 🪴 How I set up Blender for 3D print modeling 🪴 Design tips for different pot styles (geometric, organic, ribbed, and one with a fun little face) 🪴 Exporting STL files and using Bambu Studio for slicing 🪴 Printing settings, wall thickness, infill, and how to add drainage holes 🪴 And a few tips if you’re printing with PLA or planting directly into your prints Whether you’re just starting out or want a few ideas for your next print, I hope this gives you something you can try out right away. If you haven’t checked out the first video in the series—where I show you how to make a simple keychain from scratch—I’ll link it below too. It’s a solid place to start if you’re new to the Blender-to-3D-print workflow. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions down below, and I’ll catch you in the next one. ◈ MY 3D PRINTER & TABLET ◈ (Affiliate links help support the channel at no extra cost) ❚ My Printer (P1S): https://tidd.ly/3PmwOpo ❚ Newest Model of My Printer (P2S): https://tidd.ly/4sRLgny ❚ My Drawing Tablet (Artist 16): https://tidd.ly/43m9qfV ◈ TIMESTAMPS ◈ 00:00 - Overview 00:41 - Setup 01:20 - Pot Design Tips 02:19 - Pot 1 06:28 - Bambu Studio Slicer Settings 07:53 - Tips for Planting Directly or Outdoor Planters 09:31 - Pot 2 12:50 - Pot 3 15:04 - Pot 4 ◈ RELATED LINKS◈ ❚ Blender Basics for 3D Printing - Keychain Part 1:    • Blender Design Basics for 3D Printing | Be...   ❚ Browse my 3D-printed designs: kevandram.com ❚ Transform 2D Art into 3D Prints:    • Turn 2D Art into 3D Prints | Filament Pain...   ❚ Practical 3D Prints:    • Designing My First 3D Printed Pot   ❚ 3D Printing My 2D Art:    • My First HueForge Print with Bambu Lab P1S...   ❚ First Time 3D Printing:    • First Time 3D Printing | Bambu Lab P1S Unb...   ◈ THEO'S CHANNEL ◈ ❚ @heycalatheo ◈ CHECK OUT MY GREASE PENCIL COURSE ◈ ❚ CG Boost: https://www.cgboost.com/courses/maste... ◈ TUTORIALS ◈ ❚ Magic Storybook Course Introduction:    • Magic Storybook Course Update - Learn 2D/3...   ❚ Simple Stylized Shaders:    • 3 Simple Stylized Toon Shaders for Creatin...   ❚ Blooming Roses:    • Blooming Roses in Blender 3D with Grease P...   ❚ 2D/3D Stylized Microscope (on CGBoost):    • Stylized Microscope in Blender (Grease Pen...   ❚ Valentines Day Galaxy Balloons:    • Blender & Grease Pencil Tutorial - 2D/3D G...   ❚ Cake:    • Blender 3D Grease Pencil Tutorial - Cake   ❚ Bakery:    • Blender 3D Grease Pencil Tutorial - Bakery...   ◈ FIND ME ◈ ❚ Shop: https://www.kevandram.com/ ❚ Website: http://www.kevinramirez.com ❚ Instagram:   / kevandram   ❚ TikTok:   / kevandram   ❚ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kevandram ❚ Gumroad: https://kevandram.gumroad.com/ ❚ Twitch:   / kevandram   ❚ X:   / kevandram   ◈ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ◈ ❚ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kevandram ◈ MUSIC & SOUND EFFECTS ◈ ❚ Royalty Free Music from by HookSounds ❚ Sign Up Here: https://www.hooksounds.com/ref/kevand... with code ”KEV10” for a discount #3DPrinting #BlenderTutorial #PlantPots #Blender3D #BambuLab #CoverPot #HomeDecor #BlenderForBeginners #BambuStudio #BlenderToSTL
