Menippus is the only one that’s really good as a planter.

The link doesn't work for me. Searching for it on Google does work.

You can probably find the files on myminifactory as well. Search Menippus

It's hard to compare the difference between then and now because the angle is a bit different. Are the pots drooping slightly or is it just the picture?

My angle is probably a bit different.

I see, from the original post you say most of these guys are PETG, how are they holding up? From what I can see there isn't much difference between then and now, well your plants are much larger of course

PETG is holding up fine. Both these and the couple I printed last year are still going strong. ABS is good as well. PLA is brittle, but gets the job done. I wouldn’t recommend this material for something you want outside more than 3-4 years (at least with my weather).

Surprised to hear the PLA is holding up. I had a small print in my car for about 3 weeks before it warped beyond recognition, but that was a pretty thin flat print so it makes sense.

What kind of print settings were these done with, if you remember? Nozzle size, wall count, infill is mainly what I'm curious about. Working on some projects and want the parts to be strong but don't want to use unnecessary amount of filament

I think these are the settings, used a 0.6mm nozzle
