Tiny Sprout Kit – Modular Skewer Geometry Connectors

I designed this modular connector kit during a workshop with students at a high school in Prague, where we explored sustainable greenhouse concepts. The connectors were used as a creative tool to develop ideas, build wireframes, and craft scale models of plant shelters.

The system is fully modular — you can build various shapes and structures using standard wooden skewers (⌀ 2.8–3 mm). The holes are 3.1 mm in diameter for a snug fit. Each joint includes a 0.4 mm flexible section that bends easily without snapping, allowing you to experiment freely with form.

I recommend printing in PLA at 0.1 mm layer height. I used a Prusa MK4S with no supports needed for the holes.
