Parametric Garden Stake Generator
A fully customizable, 3D-printable labeling system for the modern gardener. Designed to replace flimsy store-bought markers with durable, readable, and aesthetic stakes tailored specifically to your garden's needs.
Key Features
- Fully Parametric: Powered by OpenSCAD, this design allows you to adjust everything from sign dimensions and post length to font styles and text depth.
- No AMS Required: Designed with "Filament Swapping" in mind. By printing colors in layers, you can achieve beautiful multi-color results on any standard 3D printer without needing an AMS or MMU. (Single color works perfectly, too!)
- Smart Layouts: Choose between one or two lines of text. The engine automatically centers your labels if you only need a single line for things like BLUEBERRIES or STRAWBERRIES.
- Multiple Styles: Choose from Rectangular, Rounded, or Circular signs with optional Single or Double borders.
Material & Printing Recommendations
- Material: PETG is highly recommended for this project. Its superior UV resistance and heat tolerance make it the "gold standard" for outdoor prints that won't warp or become brittle under the sun.
- Batch Printing: For those looking for a quick start, I’ve included a Bambu Studio .3mf file containing a pre-arranged bed of common garden labels.
- Layer Heights: A layer height of 0.2mm is ideal. If you are doing a multi-color print, simply add a "Pause" or "Color Change" command at the layer where the borders and text begin.
AI Assistance Disclaimer
AI was utilized as a coding assistant to help structure the logic and refine the parametric interface of this project. However, the 3D models themselves are entirely OpenSCAD generated. All geometry is created through deterministic code, ensuring manifold, 3D-printable files that adhere strictly to the parameters you set.
