Quick project: Shallow Bowl Stand

I made a little cactus fairy garden for a Mother’s Day gift, and needed a short stand to improve drainage and keep it off the ground. Decided to model it up in Shapr3D, then exported the sketch to SVG and cut in 1/4” acrylic. It was fun to be able to fit the stand precisely to the bowl.

Here’s how it came out:


Here’s the model:

I also made another one but it didn’t fit in the plate I had designated for the bowl:


And here’s the design file for both stands in case anyone can use them:

Super design. The clear acrylic is the perfect material - it disappears under the planter. It keeps the focus on the planter.
