Plant stake

thingiverse

Plant stake designed to support plants using outdoor velcro straps sold in hardware stores. Stake has slots that are 15mm x 2mm. Base section goes in the soil. Top section extends the stake to a usable height and is attached using the connector. Depending on how it prints, it may be snug enough that you don't need to glue it, but if you do, simply wipe a bit of acetone on the end of the stake and slide it in. Additional top sections can be added for more height. You will need one Plant_stake_bottom.stl, one Plant_stake_top.stl and one of the connectors, Plant_stake_connector_Square.stl or Plant_stake_connector_round.stl, depending on your preference. The photos show both and I used contrasting colors so you can see the different parts. ***Added a newer version that has larger holes (15mmx4mm) to accommodate larger ties than the velcro straps Print Settings Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro Resolution: .20 Infill: 15% Notes: Print base, top and one connector. Add a little acetone (nail polish remover) if the fit is not snug enough to hold without adhesive.
