Single - Inverted Style Cap: Drill a 1/4-inch hole in your favorite beverage cap & epoxy tubing into cap. Tubing: Used 1/4-inch polyethylene tubing. Place a wire through the tubing to get the desired shape and heat it in 212-degree water. Flower: Printed flower stems at 30% speed. Enlarge stem holes to 1/4 inch or more for a snug tubing fit & slide flowers onto tubing. Center Bushing: Printed at 20% speed. Press bushings onto tubing & slide flowers back. Hanger: Select the right size brackets and secure them with strings. This style leaks when first inverted, also due to gravity, day/night temperature changes, sunlight/shade, solar flares, tides, black holes, etc. Keep it out of direct sunlight to minimize leakage. Clean up is required. May scale for your needs. DRIP CATCH SYSTEM: This design allows liquid to spill over and down to the next flower. See parts layout image. Catcher Flower: Position under drip zone. Push tubing near top to create a reservoir before spilling into lower flowers & glue. Printed stems at 40% speed. Catcher & Bottle Counter Weight: Printed at 60% speed, 80% infill, 4, 4, 4. Scale Z axes to your needs. Clean holes with #14 drill bits. Bottle Counter Weight: For those who can't stand seeing things at an angle. Tubing: A sharper bend works better. Flower_landingV2 is designed for leakage. May glue the last outer flower. Seal with shellac or other sealers and clean properly to avoid mold.
