Cactus1

pinshape

I got the idea for this design from a small, two-armed planter I saw online, but I thought something larger and more complex would be really useful. This is my first attempt at creating something like it. Unlike a real cactus, which isn't symmetrical in the least, this one has three layers of seven arms each. You can see how it looks with some rings and decorations loaded on it in a 45-second video here: https://youtu.be/XHy83y8ddFM. I'm sure there are plenty of other uses for this design, but I haven't thought of any yet. This part printed out in just under 24 hours using an 80 mm/sec print speed and a layer height of 0.200 mm. Keep in mind that it will push your printer to its limits as it moves from arm to arm, so be prepared to make some adjustments if you notice stringing issues.
