garden stake adapter

thingiverse

A hardware store provided plastic stakes for tomato fencing at $2.50 each, but the clips didn't match my purchased fence. I crafted an alternative clip using cheap furring strips and leftover spikes from a tree house project. Zip ties secured the fence as desired, resulting in vertical tomato growth. For my garden project, I utilized both thin and thick stakes, with the thicker one requiring an hour to print. Infill was set at 5%. Spike holes were created for two spikes, but a single spike was used initially. Ensure spikes are inserted first, as removal might be difficult. The fence appeared visually appealing, though sandy soil raised concerns about spike length sufficiency. A brainstorming idea is to print the adapter in two pieces for better support beneath the initial adapter.
