Plant Rooting Ball

prusaprinters

<p>Rafts are needed for the pig pieces. I printed it without supports, the top part did not look to nice (esp. from the inside), but in the end it is on a plant and partially removed… If you want it to look nice, use supports for the grid.</p><p>The ball works for branches up to 20mm, segments of the grid can be removed as needed.</p><p>PlantRootingBall_2x has to be printed 2x,<br>PlantRootingBall_Clamps_4x has to be printed 4x</p><p>Resolution 0.2mm, Material PLA</p><p>How to use:</p><ul><li>Remove some of the grid so that the branch fits into the hole</li><li>Remove 1.5-2.5 cm of peel of the branch</li><li>Fill both halfes with moist soil</li><li>put the halfes around the branch and close them with the clamps</li><li>check every now and then if you have to add water</li><li>After 1-2 month the roots should be visible and the branch can be cut and planted into a pot or the ground</li></ul><p>Done.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I added a new version, hopefully it helps that the clamps can be put easier.</p><p>The clamps are that tight, so that they hold independent what happens. When I printed them I used a sharp knife to create a little bevel on the clamps.</p>
