These joints let you build custom hexagonal trellises for giving the plants in your garden a little support.

They're designed to fit ¼" wood dowel rods (I used these from Amazon), but they can easily be modified to fit other sizes with the included F3D/STEP files just by changing the “rod_diameter” parameter. You can also change the “angle” parameter to make more than hexagons. In my case, the rods snap fitted, but I was using a 0.6mm nozzle at 0.40mm layer height, and your mileage might vary, so you might want to use a little glue.

You can add vertical support rods on each of the 6 corners of the hexagon by using only “T” joints, but my plants are small enough that I only put vertical support on 3 corners and used a mix of “T” and “L” joints.

For easy printing, one side is kinda flat. Make sure you print them with that side down.

If you use these models, don't forget to share a pic of your plants! :)
