***3D PRINTABLE STL FILES***
This listing is a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD for STL files to 3D print and assemble your own clawfoot bathtub pot. You will need to have an FDM (filament) printer to print these yourself - no physical item will be shipped. Prints well on most filament printers. Suitable for PLA or PETG. This is an EASY PRINT, though results depend on your print settings and skill level operating your printer. Ensure your printer is well-calibrated before printing.


***DIMENSIONS***
This is a small to medium sized pot, and when assembled is approximately 9.6 cm (3 3/4 in) high, 9.9 cm (3 15/16 in) deep, and 16.8 cm (6 5/8 in) wide. You can size it up or down somewhat as desired - too small and the feet may not fit properly, though.


***TERMS OF USE***
These files are provided strictly for your individual, personal, non-commercial use. This means you can print these as many times as you want for your own plants, or make some to give as gifts to family and friends. But you can't sell them or mass-produce them.

You are not allowed to sell printed versions of these files in any way. Do not print these files for sale. You are only allowed to take money in exchange for printing these files if you are acting as a printing service for an individual who has bought their own copy of the files, charging a reasonable price for print time and materials, but not for the files themselves. You are not allowed to print copies and put them up for sale whatsoever - not in a brick-and-mortar shop or on any online marketplace, not as individual pieces or fully-assembled. This is because I sell printed copies of these myself, and retain the sole right to sell physical versions of them.

If you don't have a 3D printer of your own, you are allowed to transfer the files to a local makerspace, send them to an individual or company who provides printing services, or to a friend or family member with a printer who said they'd print them up for you. If you do transfer the files to get them printed for you, they're not allowed to keep them for their own use without buying their own copy.

You are not allowed to otherwise share, redistribute, or reupload the files anywhere, modified or unmodified, for commercial or non-commercial use, free or pay. You can modify the files as you like for your own personal use (if you want to tweak or scale something for your own printing, go ahead!), but you can't upload, distribute, give away, or sell them, modified or not - no derivatives allowed.


***RECOMMENDED 3D PRINTING SETTINGS:***
Suitable for PLA or PETG. Silk filament is recommended for the feet. You can probably size this up somewhat - I wouldn't recommend sizing down much or the feet might not fit.

The tub requires a small amount of support on the connections to the feet. You may also want to use support enforcers or paint on support for the very bottom of the tub, if you have problems with quality on the lowest parts - or you can use a much finer layer height for those parts. The rest of the tub can be printed with coarse layers. Randomize seams for best results. A very slight fuzzy skin can make the outside of the tub seem more realistic and hides layer lines, seams, and imperfections. 2 perimeters is enough to ensure the pot is watertight.

The feet should be printed upright, as they are in the file. They require a small amount of support for the "tab" at back, and you may wish to use a raft and enforce support around the base of the ball, to ensure good bed adhesion. Using fine layer heights of 0.15mm-ish gives more detail and is worth the increase in print time. Use aligned seams for smoother details in the carving.

To attach the feet to the tub, use cyanoacrylate (super glue), or your preferred adhesive for the filament you've used. Apply a thin coat all over the parts of the foot that touch the tub and hold firmly in place. The feet are labelled front (F), back (B), left (L) and right (R) and will only fit when they are on the correct corner - check fit before gluing.

The saucer/drip tray can be printed in one colour, or as pictured, in two - this is done via filament change and you don't need a multi-material printer. Simply print the base layers in the colour you want the small tile/grout (black in the images). Insert a filament change in your gcode (M600) after 2.1mm height and switch to the colour you want for the larger tile and walls (white in the images). Ironing can be used to smooth the tiles, but mind your settings - if you add too much material with ironing, it'll squish the tiles out over the grout.
