Hexa Tomatohook is a 3D printable tomato hook designed to support and stabilize tomato plants in a greenhouse. It consists of a series of hexagonal modules that are joined together to create a hook shape, and features interchangeable clip-on labels to identify different tomato varieties. By suspending the tomatoes from the hooks, they can grow upright and have enough space to produce fruit, while also reducing the risk of disease and pests that may arise from contact with the ground.

A band is wrapped around the hook, which can be unwound as the plant grows, allowing for much larger plants to be grown.

To print the labels, I used the text feature in Prusa Slicer. Simply right-click on the label and select "Add Part" -> "Text" (see screenshot).

I welcome any suggestions for improvement.
