Give this three-armed cactus as a gift with a note or candy hidden inside. Cute and easy to print. This pretty little cactus doesn't need watering and it is always in bloom. It also has a secret. Inside is a hidden compartment that you can use for hiding things or delivering a covert note, candies, or other gifts.

Printing

0.4mm nozzle

0.2mm layer height

It prints in three parts; the pot, the cactus, and the flower.

Flower pot

I like to use a concentric top fill pattern to get a nice top finish. To get the textured areas on the side of the pot I used the Paint-on Fuzzy Skin feature in PrusaSlicer to select the faces to be textured.

Cactus

No supports needed, but I do recommend an inside and outside brim. There are versions with and without a hole for the flower.

Flower

There are two options: the vase-mode flower and the lotus-like flower. The vase-mode flower must be printed in vase mode and upside down with the round center touching the build plate. Print it with a brim and in vase mode. Go very slow, especially the bridging loops in the air. When it's finished bend the loops into a nice flower shape.

The alternate flower is easier to print because it has lots of bed contact and no real overhangs. It will require the snap pint to attach it to the cactus.
