Grand Venture Christmas Decoration (Santa, Snowman etc) Lighting Repair Cap
Description
This is a replacement light fixture holder for US made Grand Venture blow mold decorations made from the 1970's - 90's. Particularly, their large size decorations that have a 2.5” hole for a cap that holds a lightbulb socket. These vintage decorations are fairly common, in the US and Canada, though often over-priced and missing their light fixture. The original socket is shockingly poorly made (yes, a bad pun, photo of socket is posted). After seeing a shorted socket, I decided improvement was necessary. I posted two versions of the replacement lighting cap STL. One version has a 35.5mm hole designed to fit a pre-made water-proof exterior socket with cord. The fixture below fits snugly enough that you twist the cap on as though you are threading it. The item I used was 10Foot with Wire Electric Light... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6F3CC6J The “plain” STL has no cutout for a socket, or cord, so a user can alter it to their specifications. I printed at 100% in PETG. Since the cap has a locking tab, I used a fairly weak support to allow easy removal of the support.
