<p>The Gardner's Wand was created with interchangeable large (20 mm diameter), medium (15 mm diameter) and small (~11 mm diameter) drills. If necessary, insert a small Allen wrench or screwdriver into the hole in the drill body to add or remove the drills to or from the Wand body.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Gardner’s Wand Specifications</strong></p><p>&nbsp; Spacing Between Bulbs/Furrows&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><ul><li>1 Drill Installed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; user determined.</li><li>2 Drills Installed&nbsp;&nbsp; 200mm (~8 in)</li><li>3 Drills Installed&nbsp;&nbsp; 100mm (~4 in)</li><li>5 Drills Installed&nbsp;&nbsp; 50mm&nbsp; &nbsp;(~2 in)</li></ul><p>Planting Depth&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Large Drills&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 60 mm&nbsp; (~2.4 in)</li><li>Medium Drills&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 60 mm&nbsp; (~2.4 in)</li><li>Small Drills&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; up to 60 mm&nbsp;&nbsp;(~2.4 in).

The drills are screwed into the wand body, and the wand handle is connected to the wand body using the male connector.</p><ul><li>The wand was printed using ABS filament.</li><li>Drills are printed @ 50% infill.</li><li>The handle and wand body are printed @ 25% infill.</li><li>The connecter used to attach the handle and body is printed @ 100% infill.</li><li>The small drills were printed with a raft and brim to ensure they stayed attached to the plate.</li><li>The medium and large drills were printed allowing supports at the location where the threads transition to the drill body. Support blocker was applied around the threads to minimize the possible impact the supports may have on the drill threads. Support blocker was also applied around the drill body hole, which does not require supports.</li></ul>
