Mandrake Seedling

Here are the files for my Mandrake Seedling.

most parts can be printed with Zero support except for the pot which needs support under void.

The Mandrake is designed to be able to be lifted from the pot and dirt on a post so it will not come all the way out and will stay aligned.

First

Print all the parts out (Leaves are optional), Then glue the dirt into the pot checking the alignment with the post and mandrake.

next insert the post from below and glue the mandrake plant on top.

I chose to paint my plant and then glue silk plant leaves into the holes in the stems for more flexibility and some extra details, 

Though I have included a leave template which can be printed (9 of them) and the heat formed to the final shape if you like, this should be plenty strong but lack the flexibility 

the pot has space in the bottom for electronics so you can add sound if you want, 

I added a DFPlayer, a speaker and a microswitch which I already had, to a small USB port which allows me to plug mine in.

there is a space inside the pot to locate the microswitch and when the mandrake is lifted, the flange on the post will come into contact with the microswitch, activating the electronics and sound.

there is then a screw in base included which could be handy if you are planning to power yours with a battery.

I hope you enjoy.

Thanks
