Canada 150 Solar Garden Light (customizable)

The Canada 150 logo and typeface are available for use at no cost, provided that permission has been granted by the Government of Canada following specific instructions. Step 1: Purchase a solar-powered garden light that changes color. I bought one for $5 from Bianca Amor's Liquidation Supercentre. Canadian Tire also offers various options. Step 2: Remove the top ornament as we will be printing a new design. Step 3: Measure the diameter of the stem, height, and LED light carefully. Refer to the diagram in the photo for accurate measurements. Step 4: Launch the customizer software and input the measured values. Step 5: Print the shell, diffuser, and back in transparent ABS plastic, while printing the strokes and letters in red ABS plastic. Step 6: Assemble all components by gluing them together. First, attach the maple leaf-shaped diffuser to the shell (ensuring proper alignment), followed by attaching the back cover, then the strokes and letters, and finally secure the zero's center using thick glue from a hobby or RC store. Notes: - The purple "O" is an optional alignment tool for accurate placement of the zero's center. - A thicker maple leaf diffuser spreads out the LED light more evenly, reducing glare. - ABS plastic exposed to sunlight will degrade over time.
