my library had 3D printing, so i took advantage of it

Since you have access to a 3d printer, you better 3d print a CP.

I'm a member of Milwaukee Makerspace where there is a variety of 3D printers available 24/7 for member use.
They also run an ongoing FUSION-360 class to teach you how to use CAD-CAM software to design and print stuff.
Here are a couple things I printed .
STL files came from Thingiverse.
The colorful pieces were painted by an artistic friend at Makerspace.
3D printing lets you custom design and print CP flower pots, greenhouse/terrarium fittings and everything your mind can imagine.

you can also print pots, like mesh pots

I just wish the printers and/or the printing was cheaper.

Some very cool creations, folks!

3D printers have come down quite a bit in price over the last 5 years. I am not sure of your age or financial situation, but I would let you know that the functionality that used to cost $1500 or more 5-7 years ago can now be obtained for a few hundred dollars. Again, not trying to hurt your feelings in any way, but for what you get, the cost isn't really that much.

There is a lot of you tube content for beginners. But I wish I could take a graphic design course .

What kind of 3D printer do you use? I have Creality3D CR-10S 3D Printer https://43dprint.org/best-3d-printers-under-500, it’s only for small or medium-sized projects. I’m still just learning to print. It was my first creature. You did a great job!

I have a Prusa i3 MK3S+.
That's the same model most used at Milwaukee Makerspace.
My latest prints have been some DIN rail Raspberry PI mounts, Relay Board mounts , and miscellaneous sensor mounts for a PI controlled & monitored CP growing setup.
Good growing,
Mike

now if we could only 3D print some Rasp Pi. I have been hunting for some model 4 8G for ever !
