Print without any fuss or scaling on the Creality K2 Plus. Pens just took a little bit of force with a needle nose pliers and fit in nice and snug.
A super fun and practical print! ❤️

I used Cicla's antibacterial filament for the green - while it's a very bright green, these pens effectively clean themselves as they're passed from hand to hand.
Very smooth print. The only trouble I had were the first pens I ordered didn’t fit well. But the second set of pen fills were perfect and everything snapped into place instantly.
Awesome model! The pens fit perfectly and so do the magnets. Used Bambu Lab Oxide Green Metallic PLA, Bambu Lab Grass Green Matte PLA, Polymaker PolyTerra Marble Brick PLA, and Prusament Mystic Brown PLA!

Love this print-I used harbor frieght 12 piece files #4614 that came in handy for pen inserts and to file down any rough edges. Also used a white paint marker for dots on plant and spray painted tips lightly with a brown and pink spray cans, and placed in a 4-inch clay pot with saucer.

Printed with Hatchbox white pla and Eryone olive green pla. Opted to paint the spots on later tos ave filament. I didn’t have any red clay-like filament so I made my own white geometric planter that I scaled to fit the insert in blender. 
Tips: Hit the stem holes with a heat gun on low for maybe 10 secs each to make it easier to get the pens down in them. 
Bore out the caps with a small rasp/file or exactly knife for a better fit. I’ve still got a few to fine tune. 
Once you get magnets in the base, give each installed magnet a pair and mark the outward face with a sharpie so you don’t install it wrong into the stem. 
Use a flat surface on a pair of pliers to persuade the magnets into the holes easier. 
If you dial in your printer this all fits together very well! I printed mine across an A1, an A1 Mini and a K1 Max and everything is fairly snug and lines up well. Great design! Kudos Forge! Thanks for sharing.

Finally got my print finished, it turned out great after I figured out the scaling issue.
Came out great!

Hey Brandon! Do you have your planter file on Thangs? I looked but couldn’t find it. I would love to use it!

Does anyone have trouble putting the pens in? I shouldn't have to be drilling them out like I am.

Yes, I am having the same issue! What size of drill did you end up using - or did you figure out how to fix that?

its a 1/8 drill bit. Seems the magnets dont quite fit either.
