Planter Challenge

Be kind to your plant friends and design them an amazing planter. The Planter Challenge is your chance to design and build an amazing planter. In this challenge we want to see planters that really push the boundaries and accentuate the plant that is living inside of it.

Also, we would remiss not to mention that we're giving away two 3D printers! One is for the Grand Prize winner, and the other is for the best use of Tinkercad when designing a planter. If you do use Tinkercad, be sure to mention that in your introduction paragraph.

The Planter Challenge is closed.
