Garden Cane Connector Ball - Universal
Description
Simple Plastic Balls Which Have 6 Conical-Section Holes, Arranged Through The Centre And At Right-Angles To Each Other, Allowing Garden Canes Or Sticks To Be Connected To Make Frames For Peas Or Other Climbing Plants. The Holes Are A Convex Cone-Shape In Section, Tapering From 14Mm Down To About 6Mm At The Centre, Meaning Any Cane From 14Mm To 6Mm Will Be Able To Find A Point Where It Lodged/Jams Securely Inside The Hole. This Is Based On Some Commercially Available Designs, And Is A Modification/Simplification/Upgrade On ['Garden Cane Corner'](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1581046) And ['Garden Cane Corner Middle'](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1581045) Since This One Part Can Be A Corner Or A Middle. I Couldn'T Find Any Existing Patents For This Kind Of Thing So I Think I'M Probably Ok Sharing This Design, But By All Means If I'M Infringing Someone'S Ipr Please Let Me Know Designed Quick'N'Dirty Style In Tinkercad. It'S In The Tinkercad Gallery [Here'S The Share Link](Https://Www.Tinkercad.Com/Things/G851Bbotsoi-Garden-Cane-Ball) The Stl File Is A Tinkercad Export The X3G File Prints One Ball, And Takes About An Hour On Our Makerbot Replicator 2 I Will (Soon) Upload A Ready-Made '6-Up' Or '8-Up' Print X3G (As Soon As Makerware On Linux Gets Fixed) And In .Gcode As Well.
