Keep your drip irrigation tubing neatly in place with this compact and easy-to-print stake.

I designed this stake after struggling with commercial irrigation stakes that were often too long and difficult to push into firm or compact soil. This design provides a lower-profile alternative that is easier to install while still holding 13 mm (1/2") drip irrigation tubing securely.

The open clip allows the tubing to be pressed into place without disconnecting any irrigation components, and the lightweight structure keeps print time and material usage low.
