Description
This is the second version of my tree support - or better - the version with two poles for better stability.
As with the first version, you can use M5 / 8mm (or longer) screws to screw the rod/pole (which you can buy at any gardening / home improvement center - or even a broomstick, etc..) to the printed Plastic pieces. It might be possible that the screws are not needed, but they add a bit to the overall stability.
The models were printed in PETG with 50% infill to achieve good stability.
PETG is a requirement as it is UV resistent and can cope better with the temperature. Also - consider a brighter material (nothing dark like black) as they will absorb the heat and might deform).
50% Infill is making this extremely sturdy and durable even if the tree grows. You can also get away with less infill, but be aware that it might be not sturdy enough over time then.
Note:
I hope that this helps someone!
