A cartoon head laughing so hard its hair grows out of the top. A happy little planter for a desk or a windowsill.

A cartoon head mid-laugh, eyes squeezed shut and mouth wide open, hollowed out as a planter. Fill it with soil and the plant becomes its hair; a trailing plant gives it a mop, a succulent gives it a spiky crown.
Made with our head generator, not sculpted by hand: the laughing example head as a planter you fill with soil. The head is one of the generator's own example heads, a cartoon made by its AI from a photo, and the planter around it is built by the page itself. The zip holds exactly what the page exports: a one-colour STL for any slicer. It comes out 78 by 57 by 86 mm as laid out for printing. Like every free download from the tool, it carries a small MESHCAST mark.
Make your own: upload a photo of a friend, your dog or yourself to the head generator and turn it into the same thing with their face.
Shown as a 3D render of the printed object, not a photo.
Print the STL as laid out, with tree (organic) supports where the slicer asks for them.
Remove the supports and clean up the underside.
Put a little gravel over the drain hole, fill with potting soil and plant.
Stand it on the saucer, or on a dish, and water little and often.

Small succulents, cacti, air-plant moss or a little trailing plant like string of pearls. The bowl is about the size of a small pot, so pick something that stays small, and water little and often since the plastic does not breathe like terracotta.
About 1 h 25 min and 43 g of filament at 0.2 mm layers, estimated from the file for a current printer (Bambu, Prusa MK4 class) rather than sliced. It prints in one colour, so there are no filament changes.
Yes, that is what the head generator is for: upload a photo of a face (yours, a friend's or a pet's), it turns it into a 3D cartoon head, and you pick the planter to get the same object with that face.
