Grafting Clip for Cucumbers & Other Plants

thingiverse

I made this clip for Cucumbers though I would imagine they would work for tomatoes and other plants as well. I used the 3mm cylinder and it seemed like it maybe could have been larger but worked fine. My pictures were taken about a week after the graft when I was removing the clips. My clips were stretched out of shape pretty good after a week so I am not sure if they are reusable. You could probably upsize the clip but likely not downsize, when I tried it in the slicer, the cylinder disappeared. I am including 3 sizes though I used the largest of them. I am also including a support stick - you can use just about anything but I didn't have anything suitable handy. If you needed a longer stick, just stretch it in the slicer. I printed 6 at a time with each completed before starting the next but that's just me. Considering the small size of the clip it printed well for me with my standard .4 nozzle .15 layer height. This is the grafting technique I was following: https://youtu.be/z-tXoobiMnY
