Herb shade (CC-BY) by Zsquish

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

Herb shade (roof, umbrella) for planting pot or garden.
Two sizes:
288mm x 178mm (H x W)
224mm x 178mm (H x W)
Why
My parsley burnt in the sun so I needed a shade. Will update about parsley after a few weeks.
Design Details
Has several big holes for roots to grab onto (also looks cool) and few small 3mm holes to fix the shade with wood sticks.
Other methods of roof fixing are also possible. Can use simple adhesive tape or document clamps.
Print Instructions
shade_shorter does fit on the Ender 3 built bed without modifications.shade_longer has the ideal height for planting pot. Roof is high and leg goes deep enough into soil for good stability. But doesn't fit onto Ender 3 print bed.
Might need scaling to fit onto printer. Not sure if printing upright will work good.
Assembly Instructions
Push into soil.
Cover with foil or other material
Either push sticks into the small holes or fix with tape or document clamps (like the one the Ender 3 heat bed uses). See picture for example.
Materials Needed
small sticks (3mm diameter) or tape or document clamps (like the one the Ender 3 heat bed uses)
cover material (weather resistant foil or similar).
