Concrete Planter Mold for Casting at Home

Design preview. Rendered from the file, not a photo.
This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Five-part reusable mold for casting concrete planters
- Build durable concrete planters in your own garage
- Saves money over store-bought concrete planters
- Disassembles cleanly after the concrete cures
- Use cooking oil as a release agent for clean casts
You mix the concrete, pour it into the mold, and a few days later you pull out a planter that looks like it came from a high-end design store. This five-part mold is reusable, so once you cast one planter you can do another.
Use Pam cooking oil or another release agent before pouring to ensure the concrete pulls cleanly from the plastic. The five parts disassemble in the order shown in the linked deconstruction video, so the cured planter comes out without breakage.
Use it for garden planters, herb pots, or as a maker gift for a garden lover.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
