Cactus Style 3D

My purpose was to make a wall support for the 'cache pot' by Marie_Design, found on thingiverse.com :

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1403129

It is composed of a piece of oak and an invisible 3D printed bracket.

• 3D printer and PLA
• CNC router
• Piece of wood (26mm thick)
• 2 wood screws of 15mm length and 3mm diameter
• 2 dowels + screws of 3mm diameter

I've imported the STL file of the dice cache-pot, scaled it to 200% to fit my cactus, and designed the support arround it.

The bracket has 2 holes for wall fixing, and 2 holes to fix it on the wood.

My design is made for a 6mm flat bit with 2 teeth. Personnaly I have a Stepcarft D600.

Parameters :

• Speed = 1200mm/min
• Rotation = 14200 rpm
• Depth step = 2mm.

First carve the verso : make the pocket for the bracket and cut the outline of the whole piece.

Second : flip the piece and carve the hollow circle.

I provide here the Gcode files in txt format.

NB : I you see a hole in the middle of the circle, in my photos, it is a mistake during routing process, there's no need ;-)

3D print the bracket.

Parameters :

• PLA
• 50% filling
• print the piece horizontaly to make it stronger to the vertical constraints.

Fix the bracket on the wall.

Slide the wood on it.

Fix the bracket to the wood with underknees screws.

That's all :-)
