CactiKeys - Advanced

This cactus blooms when it holds your keys! Designed after the Ball cactus which is famous for its large flower on top.

This design has been in the works for a long long time. It was an idea ever since I first saw Lofted Good's viral wall mounted plant pot video showcasing this quilted planter. And now it's finally come to life!

Update I have added a command strip wall mount option for this pot! You will need to cut the command strip short to 43 mm long so that it fits snugly in the wall mount. Component link below.

How to use? The planter slots into the mount on the wall. A hook or magnet is used to hold your keys. When you place your keys under the pot, the weight of the keys raises the flower inside the cactus causing it to bloom!

But How does it work? The petals are made of print-in-place hinges. So once they petals are lifted up past the top of the cactus, they fold open and "bloom"

The petals are lifted by an internal gear mechanism, that translates the linear motion of the keys being lowered, into an upward motion that lifts the flower.

This Design was Made in Collaboration with Lofted Goods Use code "LOFTFORGE" for 20% off your first 2 months of a Lofted Goods Membership

Hi everyone, I’m having repeated issues with my prints not completing properly — they often detach from the build plate partway through and create a tangled mess of filament (photo attached). What I’ve already tried: Adjusted model position on the build plate Tried different build plates (textured, cool, etc.) Ensured the plate was clean and leveled Used different materials (PLA and PETG) Despite all this, the print keeps lifting off from the plate after a few layers and ruins the entire job. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Could it be related to first layer calibration, cooling, or slicing settings? Any advice on what else I should check? Photo of the issue attached. Thanks in advance!
I am unable to get it to work. I have printed the mechanism 3 separate times and every time it has issues pulling down. Even after I put the battery in the case it wont go back to its original position either. I tried putting WD40 on the second print I did and it didn't help. I am unsure what else to do
Not sure what I am doing wrong, the flower won't bloom all the way...
These are so fun! My son gets a kick out of playing with them on the wall too! I used the 3mf file and Bambu PLA. I also used different colors for the flowers so each person can have their own for their keys.

No worries at all! I actually designed that myself and I don’t have it shared anywhere 😅

Does the mechanism pull out on both sizes fully?

Yes. I believe I have it set up like the. I am supposed to put the parts in with the sliding parts all the way closed, correct?

I honestly have no idea what I did. But somehow it works perfectly fine now lmao

I'm glad you got it working! My next question was going to be did you push it into the pot until you hear a click but I am so glad it works for you now!

Hi, I'm sorry you are having so many issues. I'd love to help fix them! My first suggestions would be washing your build plate with dish soap and warm water. Sometimes switch to a PEI plate and adding glue can greatly increase plate adhesion or PLA too, in my experience. You may also need to increase the plate temp. I suggest keeping the temp 55°-65° for most pla. You can also join our discord for faster help!

It looks like the mechanism isnt seated fully into the slot. Do you hear an audible click, when you push it into the pot?

W
Willbill10 months ago

Yeah, I pushed it in and heard an audible click. Even after doing so it isnt extending when I put keys on it. I appreciate the fast reply!

Colby G

It could be that the filament expanded too much during printing causing the tolerences to fill up and make the mechanism not work properly. But I can't be sure without more pictures. We could help a bit more in our Discord Channel if you'd like to join. We can help a lot more affectively there and go into a lot more detail

Be sure that your parts all printed flat. Slight warping can have an effect on the success of the build.
