Woodland Chipmunk Log Planter | Minimal Supports

Bring a touch of nature to your desk, windowsill, or shelf with this charming woodland log planter featuring adorable chipmunks perched on the rim.

This model has been engineered specifically for an easy, stress-free printing experience on your Bambu Lab printer. The rugged bark textures and the geometry of the chipmunks are optimized to handle overhangs efficiently, meaning this model prints with minimal to absolutely no supports required.

It's the perfect print-and-go project that looks incredible straight off the build plate!

Key Features:

• Print-in-Place Design: Optimized geometry means no complex assembly or difficult post-processing.
• Minimal Supports: Designed to print cleanly without supports on well-tuned machines. (Optional: A tiny amount of tree support under the chipmunk chins can be used for perfect overhangs, but is often unnecessary).
• High Detail Texture: Deep, realistic wood bark texture hides layer lines beautifully.
• Functional: A deep cavity perfect for small succulents, cacti, or desk organization (pens/tools).

Recommended Print Settings (Bambu Studio):

• Nozzle: 0.4mm standard.
• Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm for a good balance of speed and detail.
• Infill: 10-15% Gyroid.
• Walls/Perimeters: 3 walls (recommended if using real plants and water to ensure it is watertight).
• Material Suggestions: Looks stunning in Wood-filled PLA or matte brown PLA for a realistic look. It is also AMS-ready if you wish to paint the chipmunks a different color in the slicer!

Happy printing! Share your makes—I’d love to see your chipmunks in the wild!
