Introducing The Tacktus, the 3D printed cactus that stylishly and securely holds up to 24 tacks on the outside and has some additional space on the inside of the pot for even more! This hardy tack filled succulent will bring a touch of desert charm to your desk!
This model is comprised of 3 parts
The Tacktus Top -This is where the magic happens, the Tacktus top features 24 pin holes each angled at 70 degrees to hold your pesky wall tacks. Ideally if your printer is tuned well there should not be a need to do this, but if you are struggling to get the tacks to fit into the holes, consider heating the pin of a tack with a lighter to clear the holes of any additional plastic. -Basic print settings: Infill ≥15% Grid Top and Bottom layers ≥4 Organic/Tree supports enabled (with support blockers on the pin holes)
Tacktus Sand -The sand insert is the transition piece between the cactus and pot, there is a cut in the piece so it can be fit around the cactus portion -Basic print settings: Infill ≥20% Grid Top and Bottom layers ≥4
Tacktus Pot -The Pot is where it all come together, the top should screw into pot, there is a 0.4mm clearance built in but depending on how tuned your printer is, there may be a little sanding. Additionally the inside of the pot has some more room for some more tacks if needed! -Basic print settings: Infill ≥20% Cubic Top and Bottom layers ≥4 Walls: 2 No supports Ideally, randomize the Z seam
