Plant stake mount by jpandum

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago

I am growing plants over a period of weeks to examine the effect of light duration on the rate of plant growth. To do this, I have 8 lima bean plants for each target duration. To help them grow straight and make them easy to measure, I want to place a stake next to each, and a ruler running up the stake. To make it easy to connect a 1x2 board to the stakes and the stakes to the rulers, I designed and printed the mount. The design has:
Corner guide to mount on the top of the board
Hole for a sheetrock screw to attach the mount to the board
Hole to place the stake through
Guide slot next to the stake hole to place the ruler in
I am sharing this to help others who might want to replicate my experiment or perform a similar plant growth experiment. Please share the uses you find for this part.
