The basic idea was to have a plant support system that can be customised to my different plants. I had the idea that multiple rings could be connected and this is how the idea came about as six rings fit around one ring of the same size.

The rings can be connected via spacers and put onto spikes (using dovetail connectors) that have tapered ends for easier placement in soil. There is a full length spacer (200mm) and spike as well as half and third pacers and spikes. There are also 1/6th and 5/6th spacers for some fancy ring stacking.

I have added three ring sizes 100mm, 75mm, and 50mm. The top ring has only dovetail joints on the bottom side. The intermediate rings have six joints on the top and bottom.

A minimum print would be three spikes and an intermediate ring.
