Aztec Planter
Once worshipped as the bringer of rain and life, this ancient deity now takes on a quieter role, caring for your plants from the corner of your desk.
Inspired by Tlaloc, the Aztec god of rain and crops, this planter turns a powerful figure into a functional object where water flows, gathers, and is released with purpose.
As you water your plant, the excess escapes through the mouth, a controlled offering from a god that once ruled the skies. Equal parts relic and utility, a reminder that even ancient forces can find new meaning in the modern world.

Print it. Plant it. Let the rain god provide. 🌱🌧️































The model looks beautiful, but it is not properly divided into parts for easy printing. It requires a lot of time and material. The earrings have to be glued because the parts do not snap together well. There is no mounting point on the back to hang it. If the pot is not hung, the jaw appears closed. The model is not well thought out or fully refined.
I love all of your models, just became a member and cant wait to print all of the planters, this Aztec boi is first on the list. I'll come back and update on print.
Thanks!! Please share your make!
I just saw your Skull Planter model; if it can be disassembled like that, it would be perfect
I agree with e.litvinov.od, the model is beautiful, but printing times could be greatly optimized if the parts were divided by color and then assembled.
