#Tilable Hex Planter ###ATTENTION## Use Aquaium save filament if you plan to use it underwater. In my Opinion: PLA natural (trusted source and no colour). Controll for breaking parts; from time to time, and replace. ###What/How to Print? #####HEX50_no.stl _Web & _Log <ul> <li>Exposed Infill (instructions below)</li> <li>_Web and _Log: have small Posts if you want them to hold the plants</li> <li>_no: without Posts</li> </ul> #####HEX50_Stand <ul> <li>Spiral/Vase mode</li> <li>To stand and hold them vertically </li> <li>Scale it in Z for desired Foot print (20mm high deafult model)</li> </ul> ###How do I use this? Push them together, make sure they fit thight and clean the edges especially the print bed side and when using brim. Either push the plants through the exposed Infill, or use one of the models with posts, either pushing them through or binding them. If you want to use it vertically, for examples as background/seperation, slide theme on the Stand. Print the stand in appropriate size (scale in z) so they don't fall over (or to have mutliple vertically in a row) Put heavier/denser objects on the tiles (in the Stand) if they are too easy pushed around (e.g. by current) ###For what do I use it? Helps plants to be rooted and movable. Meant for Aquarium plants, I'm thinking for non-Aquarium plants like small epiphytes too (e.g. some orchids). For ground cover and background cover. The idea is to plant the tiles and stack them to cover a area and move them around with plants staying rooted Easier cleaning without uprooting them. I meant it for soilless/gravelless, the dirt falls through and can be sucked up (or the plants pushed around to clean the corners). You can use it for gravel too, or to put heavier stones ontop and spread the load, anker the plants (make sure to put the tiles/plants first, then the heavy object and after that sand and gravel, so the load can be spread over the ground and not in single points).
