Growing Together: Open Forum

Hello! I was recently given the opportunity to use a 3d printer for the summer. I am wondering if anyone else has used a 3d printer for anything in their gardens? We currently have 55 Juice+ Tower Gardens in our district and I see a ton of plans for 3d printing a similar tower garden. I also had the thought of making custom plant labels, tomato or pepper cages, or hose guides for our school gardens. 

Has anyone used a 3d printer for anything in your gardens or greenhouses? If so, what was worth it and what fell short of your expectations?

Thanks!

Hello! my stepmom does 3d printing- she's made various plant stakes which you can see an example of in the link below. she's got some that say silly stuff like "kale yeah!" or "good thymes" or "love grows here". I'm sure she'd very happy to give advice if you contact her. we are also planning to work together to create 3d printed molds to pour Cement into, and then paint to become garden decor (think frogs, snails, ladybugs, etc).
