About this 3D model

This is the Crying Dragon Planter! This planter is designed with a large dragon eye on both sides, and one of my favorite details is the small slit in the corner of the eye that acts as an extra drain hole. When water drains through it, it makes the eye look like it’s crying, which gives the whole piece a really unique, alive feeling. There are also standard drain holes on the bottom, and the matching catch tray works as a small reservoir to hold extra drained water. The eye slit is not actually an indicator of overwatering, but if the eye is completely dry, that could be a sign your soil is getting too dry. This one is a super fun and easy print that looks great in multi-color, but it would also look amazing as a single-color print with a little Rub ’n Buff added to the eye for extra pop.

That would still give it a really striking look without needing a multi-color setup. Happy Printing! -Christian, @CraftyKid3D
