Solar Garden Light Spike

thingiverse

One of my Solar garden lights spikes broke off when I tickled it with the lawn mower. The stainless tube supplied with it was 24mm inside diameter, so I drew up this replacement. Works well and should last as long as the original :o) provided I don't tickle it again. I highly recommend using ABS to print these spikes, PLA may have a problem in really warm countries. The last picture in the series above is of one spike which was in my front yard for about 2 weeks with really hot days, I mean 30 degrees C and well above. You can see what happens due to the prolonged heat, hence the recommendation. Of course if you live in the UK or the likes, it's probably not going to be a problem.
