Quick and easy Air Layer system for small cuttings. Simply print 2 of each file and combine as shown in the picture.

Maximum stem diameter is 10mm at current settings, however you can easily increase/decrease size in your favorite slicing program to suit your needs.

Designed this to be as fast as possible, at 0.28 layer height you can print a single baller in about 3 hours.

This is version 1.

Prepare Your Cutting (Google Air Layering for more information):

  • Find a suitable cutting and node. Girdle under your selected note and make sure the sapwood is exposed (you might even slightly scrape the sapwood).
  • Use powdered rooting hormone on the exposed node and sapwood
  • Fill both halves with sphagnum or your preferred medium (i.e. bonsai mix)
  • Place girdled stem in the center of the ball (filled with sphagnum), and clamp both halves together using the provided clips.
  • Wait 4-6 weeks.
