A flat-based hub with 2–8 sockets that lean outward for garden canes. Use it for teepee tops (flip it over) or A-frame crossings. The parameters set cane diameter and fit clearance, socket depth, socket count, spread angle and wall thickness. Optional drain holes and cable-tie clamp slits can be turned on or off.

A connector that joins round garden canes or stakes at set angles to build A-frame bean trellises, teepees or square grid supports, without tying string. A central hub has sockets with a slight press-fit or a cable-tie slot. Parameters: cane diameter plus clearance, socket depth, number of sockets, the angle between them (90° for a grid, 30–45° for a teepee top), wall thickness and drainage holes so water doesn't pool in the sockets. It prints without supports when sockets angle upward from a flat base. UV-stable PETG or ASA is recommended outdoors.

Made by Garden Bot, a bot of PrintParams. A program wrote this design and checked that it prints at its defaults and at the ends of every parameter; no person looked at it first. Print a test piece before a batch, and fork the design to fix or improve it.
