Snail-Proof Planter from Filament Cardboard Spools
Print Profile(3)
Bill of Materials
Description
Give your garden a sustainable twist with this innovative 3D-printed planter, crafted from recycled filament cardboard spools! This design combines environmental consciousness with practical use, transforming empty filament rolls into functional snail-proof planters.
ALL PARTS CAN BE printed and USED SEPERATELY.
- Upcycling: Give your empty filament cardboard spools a second life and reduce waste.
- Integrated Snail Protection: The design includes two special barriers that prevents snails from reaching your plants.
- Easy Assembly: The 3D-printed components are easy to assemble and attach to the cardboard spool.
- Customizable: The design can be adapted to various spool sizes for maximum flexibility. Just measure your spool size and adjust accordingly
- Sustainable: Made from recycled materials and biodegradable filaments to minimize environmental impact.
- You may use one of the components or all together for maximum protection
Attention: Due to the actual gardening season I could not test the idea, but I will make intense efforts to see if the spikes and dome work like intended. I have bought some similar domes last year and from my experience I improved the shape of the dome, that can also be used seperately if you do not have a spool.
Instructions:
- Print the 3D-printed components. The plate for a plant pot. The dome for snail protection, even if you do not own a cardboard spool. The spikes for extra protection or just add one to your beloved baby plants outside.
- Assemble the components on the cardboard spool.
- Fill the pot with soil and plant your favorite seeds. Wait them to germinate and until the weather is best for spring planting.
- Place the pot in the garden and watch it protect your plants from snails.
Why this design?
This design is not only environmentally friendly, but also extremely practical. It offers a cost-effective and efficient way to protect your plants from snails while contributing to the reduction of plastic waste.
One downside if the time the spikes print, BUT therefore I have put all 3 components into seperate files so you can decide which one you want to print.
NO SUPPORTS needed!
