Growing Unique Fruit: A Fun DIY Project! For anyone who has ever dreamed of cultivating a square-shaped lemon, this is an exciting development. After devoting some time to contemplating quirky fruit forms, I began working on my own creation - the art of crafting novel produce. Quickly discovering that I possessed all the necessary tools, I decided it was high time to put them to good use. To kick off my experiment, I created a small mold comprising two hinged pieces that formed a box-like shape when snapped together. Its design included an integral hole to accommodate the fruit's stem, as well as several features which lent it durability and made it easy to handle. With this in mind, I then brought my ideas to life by printing the finished mold. To initiate the actual shaping of my lemons, I employed the simple technique of enclosing each fruit within my clever device, using supporting materials where necessary to keep them securely suspended in mid-air. Following a brief but relaxing interval, during which I simply allowed things to take their natural course, my patience was rewarded three days later with the first mature specimen. As for myself? Well, let's just say I felt utterly elated!
