Description

Disclaimer: There will be stringing o.o;

 

I needed a moss pole for my new monstera plant to climb up, and I've been on kind of a Kumiko kick lately, so I made one. There are matching threads on the top and bottom of the pole, so if you need it to be longer, you can just print another one and screw them together.

 

I put sphagnum moss inside the pole and buried it in the soil of my plant's pot. I think it's recommended you use something like cotton string to tie the taller stems to the pole while leaving the new growth free to do it's thing. The pole is pretty skinny, so it's possible this isn't a long term solution unless you want to use multiple as your plant graduates to bigger pots.

 

As for the stringing - The circular nature of the pattern leaves a lot of flat edges trying to print out in a circle when bridging the gaps, and obviously that's not going to work, so it leaves some strings for the first couple of layers when it gets to a flat part. To me, this isn't really a problem, but does require a little bit of cleanup. You could use supports to stop the stringing, but I feel like that would require even more cleanup for not a much better result, so I just lived with the stringing. I printed two of them on X1-Carbon, and you can see in the picture they look pretty decent.

 

Anyway, let me know what you think, and Happy Planting ^-^

 

 Edit -

I created a base for the moss pole in case you want something to attach the moss pole to per request of @Mirco87  The bottom of the base is 110.5mm in Diameter and it sits about 100.35mm tall.

HI. What type of thread did you create? I would like to design a base to be buried in the ground to make the pole more stable.

Hi, I'm not sure if it's a standardized thread size. I used a blender add on called Machine that lets you create a certain number of threads, which would vary based on how long the cylinder is when you create it, then used a boolean modifier to match the other side. If you have an idea of what you want the base to look like, I can probably throw one together and add it to this model.

i was interested at a base like "Moss Pole pot support" ( https://makerworld.com/en/models/507829?from=search#profileId-423573 ) but with your kumiko style moss pole

I can do something like that. does 110 mm work for the inside diameter of the bottom of your pot(s)?

Wow this is so cool! I want to make one, but with a spiked foot base, like this one: https://makerworld.com/en/models/17356#profileId-37084 Will your design fit the spiked base/foot? What is the diameter? Thanks!

Thank you. The diameter of the main body of the pole is 38.67mm the widest part of the flanged outer threaded part is 43.52mm the threads are technically non-standard because of the way they were created in blender. it's probably possible to make a spiked base similar to the one you linked to, if I were going to do that, I would probably create a threaded base that just has the spikes on it, then screw the pole into that. If you use Blender or something similar that lets you edit STLs, you could probably just cut off the main pole part and replace it with spikes. that way you could make sure the threads still fit. otherwise, you could just use a boolean modifier to make the matching threads if you create the spikes from scratch

Hello, A really beautiful Mosspole! Is there also a slow watering solution for this? The pattern can remain the same on the surface, only closed all round, with small drip holes at the bottom or something suitable (a valve to adjust perhaps?), where the water can drip out slowly.
