Drip irrigation tube stake
Drip lines wander out of pots unless pinned, and this stake holds 4 mm micro tubing right at the plant base. The stake is 150 mm tall with a 6 mm tapered spike, a C-clip at the top sized 4.2 mm with a slight interference so the tube snaps in, and a 20 mm flag that keeps it from sinking. Print stakes vertically in batches in PETG or ASA, since PLA goes brittle after a season outside. A small fillet at the clip opening prevents nicking the tube.

Example prompt
Create a drip irrigation stake 150 mm tall with a tapered 6 mm spike, a 20 x 30 mm flat flag near the top, and a C-shaped clip on top with 4.2 mm inner diameter and 3 mm opening to snap over 4 mm micro tubing; arrange 10 copies.
Fit notes
SpeakCAD generates the clip to your tubing diameter, whether 4, 6 or 13 mm, and makes the spike as long as your pots need. Ask for a version that holds two lines or one with an emitter cradle.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
