Don't have a 3D Printer? My models print great with These Printers (affiliate)
An Aesthetically Pleasing Fidget Toy? I've designed a bunch of functional plants in the past. But this time around I wanted to do something that's just for fun, that still will look great on a desk, shelf, counter etc. These Clicky Cacti were perfect to do just that.
But how do they work? The Cactuses (Cacti?) press onto a mechanical switch, which sits inside the pot. This allows you to click away on the cactus with a satisfying noise that sounds just like a mechanical keyboard.
Quick and Easy Printing This print is super fast, and super easy. Nothing takes more than a few hours to print. And they use up very little filament. Print using a multi-color printer for best results. and make sure to use the Easy Print 3mf if you have a bambu printer!
