Customizable Decorative Riser/Elevator or Feet for (Larger) Plant Pots

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5380499.

These risers were designed for larger, heavier pots, and can accommodate even planters that flare widely at the base (but not for deep saucers or bowls). The upright outer flange has 5 holes for the plate attachment. Used by itself, these holes can be used to help guide and maintain the direction of tubing used in drip irrigation set-ups.

The plate adapter digital file is provided to allow it to be combined/fused (digitally) with any other figure or item and then 3D printed as an attached unit. It’s a much more straightforward process to do this using TinkerCAD (although minimally less precise but very acceptable for this project) than with other CAD programs. Or, an item can be attached manually (using glue or glue gun) to the plate. The combined unit can then be fit into the riser's outer flange. Decorative units can be changed to reflect different themes. The pics show a modified and adapted print from taojin (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:591330) attached to the plate. I painted it red for the actual use, although a black riser would have looked better with the contrast.

Many other alternatives exist online for risers but are mainly for smaller/lighter pots and/or don't have provisions for changeable decorations. The risers designed here are slightly higher off the ground to accommodate lifts or other devices (e.g., wooden slats/planks) to help lift the pot when moving it to another location (so if not using a caddy)
