Levi Sitts provided a great collection of gargoyles (see here : https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/20577-gargoyle-fence-post-toppers ) I wanted to put a couple of them on top of two solar light posts, but my posts have pyramidal tops - not flat.
I modified two of the gargoyles to remove the base, and I created a new "post adapter" for my light posts. I attached the gargoyles to the mounting adapters using JB Weld epoxy cement.
The prints were made in gray PETG which I hope will hold up for outdoor use. Initially I had planned to paint them, but they looked good unpainted so I left them that way. Of course they may bleach out a bit in sunlight, but if they do I can always paint them later.
The OnShape 3D CAD file for the post adapter can be found here:
Print instructions
Print in PETG for outdoor use (PLA not recommended for outdoors). I printed on a textured build plate - worked great.
Print the gargoyles base down with supports. I scaled up one of the gargoyles to get a better size match.
Print the post adapter top down - no supports required. The post adapter has two screw holes for mounting purposes.
