This is a cage to go around a small plant that is still a baby and needs to be protected. I use this with my sunflowers out in my front yard to protect it against deer until the sunflower gets big enough where the deer aren't interested anymore as an example. The edges of the top are rounded to prevent it from cutting into the plant when it is windy and the plant might blow against it (depending on the plant). The bottom "feet" are made to be just long enough to slightly dig into the soil to keep it in place but not disturb root structure as much as possible.

I made it into 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch options. It is designed to be printed upside down, with the top part against the bed. The angles of the curves are roughly 50 degrees so that way almost every printer won't need supports.

I made some into multiple colors by pausing the print and changing the filament manually since I don't have a CFS for my K1C (yet).

3D printing settings:

*No Support needed

*10% infill is fine and what I have used, but you can use 20% if you want

*I suggest 3 walls

*PLA works great but I made it in PETG

*Make sure you have good bed adhesion

*I printed on a K1C as reference

Please feel free to share images of your prints on this page, I would love to see the colors you decide to go with.
