Pot Size

This plant support pole will fit pots that are at least 70 cm in diameter. However, the smallest base available is 60cm in diameter.

Pot and Pole Medium

This plant support pole has been tested with moss, aroid mix and LECA pebbles. 
The base on the other hand has been tested with soil, mineral substrate, aroid mix and LECA pebbles.

Plant

It is best used for plants with finer roots like (but not limited to): Philodendron Heartleaf, Brasil, Silverstripe etc.

Let's grow this list together. Let me know which plant of yours thrive in this pole version.

Do you have a plant with a thicker root system? Try the original 118m wide version.

The climbing plant support is made of the following components:

• Backing
• Grid
• Base / Leg
• Watering Attachment (Drip Watering or Wick Watering)
• Stake Clip

The basic combination includes: base + backing + grid

The following steps are suggested in order to prevent roots from attaching to the layer gaps. As with any other closed-back growing poles, the roots tend to attach to the backing for support.

The option you choose depends on the material you printed with:

• Applying a coat or sealant, or
• Sanding the inner portion of the component

Building the pole with the Print Profiles

There are 4 print profiles available.

• Base and Backing combination
  • Firstly, select the base and backing combination depending on your medium and pot size.
• Grid options
  • Secondly, choose and print the grid for your Base and Backing Combination
• Backing options
  • Time to stack the pole higher? Choose and print the backing size you need. Go to the Grid Options and print the matching grid.
• Base options
  • Just in case you want to print just the base without the backing.

Building the pole with the STL files

These are the basic parameters to be set.

* bed adhesion is crucial for the success of this print. The brim setting on some parts help with this. Slow speed can be set after the print (for some printers) has started, instead of fiddling with the print speed for the different layer components

Backing

1. Print top-side-down without supports, where the insert flap is at the top. (For reinforced strength on the flap, print at a 45° angle.)
2. Outer Brim set to 20 mm width. 
   (Brim-object gap may be set to 0.13 to avoid the need to deburr but it might affect the bed adhesion negatively)
3. Set at least 3 walls

Grid

     Print flat on the bed without brim and support.
     ** If you find the grid too loose or tight in the backing, you can increase/decrease the depth.

Base / Leg

1. Print with the flat side on the bed without brim and support. (For reinforced strength on the flap, print at a 45° angle.)
2. Set at least 3 walls

• Model is still being improved - there will be incremental changes but rest assured that the parts will remain compatible with each other.
• Requests are welcome - should you need a different dimension or a part specific to your need, let me know and I will try my best to make it available.
