Description
This is a modular desert cactus in a planter. You can build your own cactus using the modular elements. It can be a simple cactus or a complicated one with lots of branches. Look at the pictures for an inspiration. Glue the cactus together once you are happy with its design. If you do not glue the soil part to the planter, you can use the planter as a storage box.
To create some variety you can print "MDC t2 bottom wide segm V1.stl" for the lowest branches and "MDC t2 bottom segm V1.stl" for the upper branches.
For the example cactus in the red pot on the picture the following objects are needed:
Due to the high number of elements this is a longer print.
Enjoy printing this object.
