The Kraken Planter is a massive sea beast frozen in motion with its tentacles wrapped tightly around an ancient, weathered pot.
The oversized water catch tray features a reservoir well that holds significantly more runoff than a standard tray. Raised pegs elevate the pot for improved airflow underneath, helping prevent soggy roots and trapped moisture.
The tentacles serve multiple purposes:• Built-in handle• Hanging option
For mine, I printed it using Flashforge Galaxy Blue PLA (affiliate link):https://a.co/d/0i4PYxK7
After printing, I finished it with a quick pass of silver Rub ’n Buff to highlight the sculpted texture and make the details pop.
For maximum realism, the large version includes eye sockets designed to accept 8mm glass eyes. The small version uses 6mm eyes. I use these (affiliate link)- https://a.co/d/0b06boWV
