3D printed planters are one of the easiest ways to make a plant shelf look personal. They can be any shape, from a skyline to a take-out box, and most come with drainage built in. Here are ten 3D printed planter ideas from Etsy shops.

What to Check Before You Buy a 3D Printed Planter
Look for a drainage hole and a tray: most planters on this list have both, and the ones without trays sell them separately. Check the size against your plant’s nursery pot. And if the planter is going outside, ask the shop what it’s printed in, since makers here use different materials.
