- Some glue:
I used 5 min epoxy, I'm sure just normal super glue would work
Instructions:
- For both the [tube mount] and [wall mount] you need to slice the file such that the printer pauses (or switches colors) at the right time to insert the magnet. It will then continue to print right over it.
- This is already done in the provided Prusa Mini gcode with PLA
- Be sure all the magnets are polarized the same way when putting them in the print.
- Glue the test tube into place on the [tube mount]
- Glue the [plant clip] parts together
- Use the Command Strips to put it all on the wall
I used two strips on the [wall mount], but I'm sure one would work too
Notes:
- The [tube base] is optional. I just wanted something to move the plants in.
