Blueberry net pieces (using 1/2 inch PVC pipe)

thingiverse

I designed this to keep birds away from our blueberry plants but allow my children to still access said blueberry plants. As the children are larger than birds I had to design it to utilize their more clever attributes as well as dexterity and size advantage. There is a little bit of redundancy in the files: - Hinge left, and Hinge right are identical if you turn them over but so that people didn't get confused I included both (though in hindsight it might be more confusing...) - The "hinge peg" and "peg" files are quite similar (the hinge ones are longer) I didn't need pegs in the hinge pieces or the clasp pieces (only the fence mount pieces) There is a built in sacrificial layer on the hinge for the top holes to change the way the slicer slices the file, making it easier to print. I didn't really know how to reorient the pieces in the files to the way that I printed them but I didn't use any supports at all when printing any of the pieces. I would argue the hinges are completely unnecessary and printing out 4 clasps and just allowing two to rotate would effectively just as functional (though I do like the hinge it took me the most time). I printed mine at 35% infill to up the strength without fan (printing PETG) except in the critical spots (top of hinges or tops of holes). I did have to use a file on the insides a tiny bit to get the pipes to fit (there is a small amount of tolerance built in but not quite enough for my machine).
