Clone your favorite plants!
Quick and easy Air Layer system for small cuttings. Simply print 2 of each file and combine as shown in the picture.
Maximum stem diameter is 10mm at current settings, however you can easily increase/decrease size in your favorite slicing program to suit your needs.
Designed this to be as fast as possible, at 0.28 layer height you can print a single baller in about 3 hours.
This is version 1.
Prepare Your Cutting (Google Air Layering for more information):
Find a suitable cutting and node. Girdle under your selected note and make sure the sapwood is exposed (you might even slightly scrape the sapwood).
Use powdered rooting hormone on the exposed node and sapwood
Fill both halves with sphagnum or your preferred medium (i.e. bonsai mix)
Place girdled stem in the center of the ball (filled with sphagnum), and clamp both halves together using the provided clips.
Wait 4-6 weeks.
