3D hanging pot

3D Design
I created a hanging plant pot since it seemed very interesting and customizable. Also, I felt that the pot would be able to hold other things if needed, which would make it multifunctional and fun.
First, I searched online for an idea. I scrolled for a while and eventually found a pentagon-shaped pot. I thought it was a fun idea, but I thought that it would be cooler if the pot could stand or swing.
Then, I logged into TinkerCAD to start creating my project. I decided that instead of a pentagon, I would do a diamond, due to the diamond looking prettier.
Next, I generated a few sticks, a pentagon silhouette, and a diamond. I cut the top off the diamond, then attached the sticks to the pentagon that was placed on the floor so that it was like a stool. I did this so it would be a stand for the pot.
Finally, I attached a hook to the stand so the pot would be able to hang on the stand easily.
For my project, I used TinkerCAD to create a design.
A picture on Google inspired me to create this, since the picture of the design looked cool. I still wanted to add some of my own ideas, though, which is why I added a stand to the design so that the pot would be able to stand.
While I worked on this, I encountered the diamond being too small and thin, resulting in the tip of it cracking. The stand was also unbalanced, which made it hard to place the diamond under the stool. Another problem was the diamond becoming weird and bumpy. I fixed this by adding an extra diamond near the tip of it to make it more sturdy and adding another layer to make it thicker. To make it more balanced, I turned the diamond upside down so it would print more easily and evenly, and changed the size to make it fit under the stand more easily.
While I worked on this, I liked how creative I was able to be when creating the 3D design.
