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:

  • 1 x "MDC planter V1.stl" - use any color you like
  • 1 x "MDC planter soil V01.stl" - use any color you like
  • 1 x "MDC t1 split 1 segm V1.stl" - green
  • 1 x "MDC t1 split 2 segm V1.stl" - green
  • 1 x "MDC t1 split 3 segm V1.stl" - green
  • 1 x "MDC t1 top segm V1.stl" - green
  • 11 x "MDC t2 segm V1.stl" - green
  • 3 x "MDC t2 bottom wide segm V1.stl" - green
  • 3 x "MDC t1 segm V1.stl" - green
  • 6 x "MDC t2 top segm V1.stl" - green

Due to the high number of elements this is a longer print.

Enjoy printing this object.

Post-Printing =============

Glue all parts ot the cactus together once you are happy with its design. If you do not glue the soil to the planter, you can use the desert cactus also as a storage box.

Supports for bended elements

Please use support touching buildplate. Supports are needed only for the objects "MDC t2 bottom segm V1.stl" and "MDC t2 bottom wide segm V1.stl". Only two tiny areas are supported, see picture below.

How I Designed This ===================

The desert cactus was designed with Blender.
