Ah, galvanic corrosion. Sealing the heat sets would be a pain as they’re open to water on both sides. I also don’t tend to take these apart, so I’m tempted to just leave them alone.

I do! But I also know that rebar tie wire is intended for static situation. This whole thing moves around quite a bit when it’s covered in leaves on a windy day

Happy to hear the photos revealed the mystery, lol.

Believe it or not, the outside fence, which is super jankey, is pretty effective at keeping deer out. Rabbits, not so much :(

I hope so! The zip tie solution only made it one season :(

ASA

First try. I’m running klipper with z calibration with a bed mesh, so my first layers are very consistent.

I manually painted the trees in two locations. The first was below the cylinder cutouts even start to give the print a touch more stability, but I probably could have gotten away without them. The second was for the small overhang at the top of the cylinder. This is ASA, which tends to sag on overhangs a bit more than PLA. A bevel would have been a great way to eliminate the need for the second set of trees.

The prints are the middle section of a rebar clamp for my garden. I’ll try to post a photo of the completed unit in a day or two. So not a jig per say, but functionally very similar. Good eye!

I updated the OP. The dimensions in the arch is the feature that matters for this print.

The prints really do look pretty good under normal lighting. The orientation did not impact print quality. Elis has a nice demo of this on his site
