Garden Solar Light from Old Ikea Chinese Lantern
Description
I printed with supports and clear petg filament with the open end of the main part facing the build plate. I used 15% infill and put a dab of super glue at three points around the old Ikea solar lamp to affix it to the 3d printed part. I then ran super glue around the rim between the light and the light holder to seal that. I printed a base that allows the light to attach to wooden garden stakes, allowing it to pivot for best solar orientation (usually south). I ran a couple rubber bands down the shaft of that part so the two parts fit snugly together but allow for adjustment. I think the Ikea Chinese lanterns were 10" - looks really nice at night. The pole mount also has a hole for a screw should it be needed. This gave my old, deteriorated lights a second shot at life! Enjoy!
