Tent stake for anchoring a beach tent in sand.

Version 2 has an additional curve because after printing version 1, my wife remarked that the top felt a bit sharp when pushing it into the ground, and that it could use an extra flat area to make it less painful on the palm.

I haven't tested the stakes yet — that’s planned for June 2025 on Fuerteventura. :) Let me know, if it works well :)

I used the "Generic PETG" filament profile for publishing the print profile. The stakes I printed from Devil Design PETG with 100% infill. I print at a volumetric speed of 20 mm³/s. Print time for version 1 is about 23 minutes, and for version 2 about 26 minutes, both with “slow down for layer cooling” disabled. With the Generic PETG profile, the times are 31 and 35 minutes, and disabling slowdown has no effect since the profile is already slow itself.

If you're using a filament with a higher volumetric flow rate, leave the "slow down for layer cooling" checkbox unchecked (as shown in the screenshot). This will save you a few minutes of print time.
