Walmart Candy Cane Stake

thingiverse

This is a replacement stake for the candy cane lights that Walmart carries. Printed on a FDM printer (i feel like it's too much of a hassle to do it on a resin printer due to supports and size) I have made 2 sizes. Originally I made it as a 20mm diameter stake but there was a tiny bit of play. Upon remeasuring it, I noticed that it might be better at 21mm so I uploaded both. If you push it down and let the wires catch between the stake and candy cane, it should still fit as 20mm. Printer: Creality CR-6SE Nozzle: 0.4mm Layer: 0.2 Infill: 50% (I prefer gyroid, but it really shouldn't matter) Orientation: It's easiest to print horizontal with the gap facing upwards and supports from builplate. If you have your printer dialed in perfectly to do tall "thin" prints, you can do it vertically to make it look prettier as well. It might even have better strength that way. Plate Adhesion: I recommend doing a brim because there is so little touching that I've noticed lifting on the edges of my print if I did just a skirt.
