I've printed them out on a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, and they print well. The sharpness of the end is reduced compared to the other models I've put up. The sharp ends seemed to cause issues with PETG filament printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize 100mm X 10mm X 1.2mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLAST layer prints the letters so use a different colour filament on that layer if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe biggest challenge for these as they will be outdoors will be the heat of the sun. PLA will melt, bend, twist with sufficient heat. PETG is more resilient to heat and sun and will not bend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo the key points if you are going to use PLA are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTry placing them in the most shady spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStick them in as deeply as you can (without covering the letters) and vertically (rather then at an angle) into the soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease the thickness in your slicer to 1.6, 1.8, 2.0mm or higher which should reduce any bending.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally try using PETG filament which is more resistant to the sun and heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eREMEMBER If you use PLA and they do bend in the sun you can always bend them back by applying a little bit of heat. You might also not mind if they go a bit twisted, I personally don't mind at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cboostme\u003e\u003cboosttitle\u003eBoost Me\u003c\/boosttitle\u003e\u003cboostcontent\u003eTell me of any modifications or additions to make.\u003c\/boostcontent\u003e\u003c\/boostme\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by multilayers on MakerWorld (license: CC0).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67415191683376,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_3957e67b-9478-4eb1-88bd-0628e59a8d85.png?v=1785405907","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/common-garden-vegetables-stake-signs","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
