PIX Solar lights - ground spikes replacement (Remix)

The original model was a great replacement for my set of lights, which came with flimsy, thin plastic spikes that would break even if my dogs just brushed against them.

After the first print, I realized the pegs were too thick for my lights. Modifying each one with a multitool not only took time but also compromised their durability.

So instead, I’ve modified the original file to fit this type of lamp. I hope this remix helps someone else facing the same issue.

Update for my 3D Model – PIX Solar Lights Ground Spike Replacement

After the original remix and a few other projects, I’ve returned with some improvements.

While the previous version fit my lamps, it was really just a quick and dirty modification. The pegs barely fit, and the model still had an unnecessary "S" on the sides left over from the original remix. The print orientation also caused some strength issues.

In this update, I’ve:

• Adjusted the size of the spike.
• Completely remade and properly aligned the pegs to fit my lamps securely.
• Removed the "S" on the sides since it no longer made sense for this design.
• Split the spike in half to allow it to be printed flat for improved peg strength.
• Added two alignment holes (5mm diameter, 10 mm deep) in the middle of the model.
• Included dowels (4mm diameter, 9 mm length) to connect the two halves securely.

I’ve removed the old file since it was just a quick hack. This upload includes:

The updated legacy file with corrected peg sizes (still has the "S") for those who prefer the old print orientation.

The new files contain the peg split in two, and two dowels to help with alignment, and is designed for stronger prints with better orientation.
