Is there a better place for this post?

Owning a nice Bambu 3d printer, this year is the first that I am adding 3d printed things to my garden.  My question is what are you planning to print for your garden?

I have printed quite a few markers so that I can write what is planted in that specific row. Last year I had everything mixed, and I just did not utilize it efficiently.  This should help me prune and harvest more regularly.

I printed a dibble tool, but the tip has broken off of it.  As a replacement, I have printed a fiskars style of dibbler.

The most used print this season has been the classifier system.  This is used to separate the duff from the large pieces of the mulch.  This duff then is spread over newly seeded areas.  

The last picture is a very picker that is from another thread.  It would be nice to print something like this.

So far all of my prints have been PLA.  I understand that some other plastics might hold up better outdoors in the heat, but I am curious how long my prints will last.

The fabric stakes are something that I am looking to print, and I think they will be useful to hold my netting ...... Although last year the netting was one reason that I did not prune and harvest as often as I should have.

The little colander is small, but prints nicely.  I might scale it larger for rinsing some veggies

That's cool. There are a lot of things on Thingiverse that I have seen for sale in seed catalogs but never bought or tried to make. The seed sower is intriguing, as well as the berry picker.

The berry picker is a product purchased at a store, but I theorize that some form of it could be 3d printed
