Plant irrigation tubing stake

thingiverse

4 inches long, irrigation tubing support. Fits any standard 1/8 inch outer diameter tubing. Tubing snaps securely in place and holds firmly but can be adjusted with a little force by sliding the stake. The support has large holes through its main body for minimal material usage and to allow potting material or dirt to fill in the center, helping to keep it stable. Two flat pads prevent shifting once installed. One downloadable .stl file includes a single support and another contains five supports in a row, ready for printing. You can purchase tubing online at an affordable price, such as $8 for 100 feet from Amazon. Use a safety pin or stick pin to carefully create holes and secure the tubing with these supports.
