Description

My wife wants to get some saplings off of a pear tree on the property my mom is moving away from, so she asked me to print some root propagation balls.

Printing spheres isn't fun and I like hexagons, so here we are.

_____________________________

Redesigned:

I just replaced all the models with my newer version. 

You can either print 2 sides without a spout or one of each if you want to be able to add water. 

I thinned out the clips a lot and they still seem to hold well enough, but are more prone to breakage, so print extras.

I added a manual support for the non-spout, but the spout side should use automatic supports because of the interior as well. I suggest 65 degrees, but just raise it until your slicer no longer puts supports in the threads.

If you have issues with the cap screwing in, just print the cap at 90% scale and it worked fine for me.
