House Plant Setup with Stackable Moss Pole
The design consists of four main parts, which are Saucer, Pot, Moss Pole and Water Cap. They are all connected and mounted to each other using a single piece, which is a circular disk. The design features a snap fit mechanism for assembly. The top of the pot is 8 inches in diameter. The moss pole is designed to be stackable and a single unit is around 8.6 inches long; it is essentially a circular cylinder with a pattern, which is divided into two parts along the longitudinal axis to allow easy installation of moss. The two sides make a perfect cylinder when secured with the mounting disk at top and bottom. The design also features a water cap to self water the moss.
The assembly follows the following order from the bottom to the top:
1) Saucer
2) Pot
3) Mounting Disk
4) Moss Pole
5) Mounting Disk
6) Water Cap
The moss pole can be repeated depending on the desired length. All parts (except the saucer) were 3D printed to show working of the assembly mechanism. There are different versions of the pot: they contain face features, if one wants to go for them. All parts were printed on a print volume of 220 mm x 220 mm x 250 mm.
The recommended print settings are:
Infill: 5%
Infill Pattern: Gyroid
Layer Height: 0.2 mm
Supports: Yes
Support Overhang Angle: 60 degree
The moss pole should be printed horizontally, while all the other parts may be printed up right.
