My home needed a more robust method of mounting my front door light fixtures to it's vinyl siding. Previous owners would change lights and drill new holes to the point where things were pretty bad and I could no longer get a snug mounting. This is one of my older designs (re: could be better) that I never published elsewhere but thought maybe it could help someone. I originally designed this as a single item and then split it two with some dovetails to reassemble. I did that because at the time my largest printer would only fit half the model. 

For the ones I printed them in Hatchbox Wood PLA and I assembled them (they are a tight fit and needed some light sanding) and then filled them in with some automotive bondo. They were then sanded and painted a color close to the faded one on my home. They've been there now for a couple years and haven't budged.

At some point I'll look at cleaning these up and maybe publishing a solid unit for those with larger format printers.
