I cant see it. I have about 20 orchids. So 20 x $20 is $400 in pots. 1/3 the price of a decent 3d printer and I could print them in any size or color.

If you want to try this out, I'd buy these pots from you. It comes in two parts, the pot itself and the screw in saucer. The design of the pot allows for maximum air flow.

Problem might be their patented, then I could not sell them. I have been wanting a 3D printer but can yet justify the money. I need to find more things I need to make.

I think they are patented.

I could only make them for my own use, until they change the patent laws. They would be easy to make minus the screw in bottom. I would just make the whole thing as a single piece. I think I will check if somebody can make them for me.
