Modular hexagonal Trellis for house plant that does not require glue. Easy to assemble without tools.

Parts available in three different pre scaled sizes:

• stakes with varying amounts and locations of connectors
• hexagonal sections with varying amounts and locations of connectors
• X connectors (two needed per side)

Assemble:

• layout your design before printing in the slicer to make sure you have the right parts for your design. For hexagons that connect on 3 sides you will need to use flat connecters for one of the sides. (don't mix different sizes)

• take your first part and add a X connector to each empty space

• take the part you want to connect to it and flip it, so it is upside down compared to the part you want to connect it to

• with the first part laying on a table line up the empty connector spots with the connectors on the first part

• push down on the new part till it is lying flat on the table (you can use a mallet if the connectors are tight, but you shouldn't have to)

• repeat for each new part till you have a finished trellis

Things to keep in mind:

• If your trellis needs to be very stiff glue the pieces together at the connectors. A small drop of superglue or even wood glue should work fine.
• You can always scale up the parts if you want a bigger trellis but make sure they are all scaled the same amount. Scaling down the trellis may result in weak or improperly fitting connections especially if you use a bigger nozzle to print it.
• You can use multiple stakes if you want a bigger trellis. You could even bridge multiple pots of plants together with the right design.
• A UV resistant filament will lengthen the life of the print if you intend to use it for a plant that requires direct sunlight. You may notice color fading with some filaments left in direct sunlight.
• If you run into a situation where the part you need isn't available reach out and I can add it, or you can always model your own. I'm sure I missed some combinations of connectors. (If you do make your own models that work with mine, please post a remix. I would love to see your cool designs.)
