Flower pot saucer for big plants (i.e. monsteras)

This is a custom saucer for under a big and heavy flower pot. Modelled in Fusion, allowing modifications.

Motivation

I bought some big terracotta flower pots with a base about 25 cm in diameter. They are heavy and traditional pot saucers, they are also heavy and it's difficult to move the flower once it's stacked all in place.

I wanted to print a custom saucer out of ASA and I also added a couple of risers on the saucer floor to allow for water flow. In the middle there's a slot where you can fix an M5 screw insert to semi-permanently attach the saucer to your flower pot with, for example, another piece of 3D printed bracket or just a piece of wood.

Version 4.1 files have no protrusion for the screw in the middle.

Dimensions and customization in Fusion

The model I included is sized as 32.5 cm in diameter (at largest point) and about 6.5 cm in height. It is designed to fit a flower pot, which has a lower base diameter of about 25 cm ± 1.5 cm.

If you know how to use Fusion (or are brave enough to try, Fusion is free for hobby use), you can download the F3D file and customize it to your liking. I recommend not changing the number of ribs (70) or their size and spacing, since that would require doing some math and regrouping them afterwards.

If you only change the diameters and fillet radii, you should be fine.

Print settings

I recommend enabling supports for the inner underside, paint them there. Recommended to print solid (100% infill). I've printed it using ASA but use whatever works for you.
