Three Cane Topper

thingiverse

I've got my Greenhouse Roof Cane Supports attached, making it easy to Square Lash a vertical cane in place. However, using Haxnicks Tomato Planters for tomatoes and cucumbers poses a problem when lashing three canes together. This becomes even more difficult if you need to move the planter later. I experimented with various options to join the tops of the canes, including rubber balls and bell-shaped castings. While these worked to some extent, they tended to fail when attached to one of my roof canes. Emboldened by the success of printing custom parts for household repairs, I came up with a solution. The prototypes were printed with PLA and appear to withstand temperature and sunlight well so far. If they eventually give out, I'll likely reprint them in PETG.
