Description
Concealable Ground Sleeve with Interchangeable Camouflage Lids
This small conical ground sleeve (80 × 50 mm) features an external thread and can be easily screwed into the ground. Inside, it offers space for small items such as keys or other small parts to be stored in a weather-protected manner.
The special feature is the interchangeable lids, with which the hideaway can be adapted to different environments:
Organic Lid
The irregular, natural shape blends well into grass, weeds, ground cover, or bushes and looks like a random piece of nature.
Stone Lid
This lid is modeled after a small stone surface and is particularly suitable for gravel areas, flower beds, or areas with natural stones.
Round Universal Lid
A simple lid with 50 mm diameter
Water Protection
When printed in PETG, the ground sleeve itself is waterproof. The only potential entry point for water is the lid thread.
For additional protection, an optional TPU seal is therefore included. This is inserted into the lid and reliably seals the screw connection
