Picking mine back up after a year. Always had great success with it. Best of luck!
This looks awesome. The only thing I notice is that when you add the spacer, the next tree section is on the same line as the one below it. Whoever created the stls should have adjusted the top spacer slot so that when you put the next tree, it's not aligned right above the previous one. I'm just learning about all of this and don't know how to adjust an stl file that much, so for now, I'll either print two spacers or no spacers for near the top, since I'd just plant basil and mint and things like that that don't need a ton of space.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Are you using the smaller of the 3 adapters? You may be able to use the slicing software and cut it in half and rotate it. I may try that for giggles after my next print is done.
I took a look at the original 40mm spacer and it appears to be orienting each branch correctly. Are you using a different size or did you get the mesh 40mm spacer remix? That one does appear to be wonky. I assumed both were wrong and modified them. I was just taking pictures to upload to MakerWorld and noticed the "original" appears correct.
Did it require a lot of supports?
I know 3ad printers generally require supports for anything mire than 30° angle. Those look like they would have required supports.
No supports. I loaded the main part in the slicer just now to verify. I am hoping to get a larger printer before growing season starts. I want to print a solid base for the 5 gallon bucket vs screwing the parts together.
@brianv_official me too. I don't know if you have seen the Chanel called hoocho's hydroponics but he has a clever design for a bucket lid by printing only a rectangular cut out of a lid, taking advantage of the length of the diagonal, then he printed the 2 cut off edges of the circle as flaps that can be opened.
I think it still required a bit bigger bed than my K1
@@bheemasena2383 I actually subscribed to his Patreon last year and printed the lid and its too small for a Walmart/Homedepot bucket. Thats why I want a larger build plate so I can use that base so it will fit and also merge these tower parts so they twist into it. I am looking forward to the bigger Bambu, fingers crossed. 256*256 isn't big enough for what I want to do for Hydroponics.
@@brianv_official nice. Good luck with that.
where can i find the stl files for this?

I printed all the parts in PETG.
@@brianv_official oh thanks, somehow i looked for an hour without finding it:)
