Originating as a recycling project, this model features a versatile and eco-friendly solar lantern that has been redesigned for full functionality. It includes a solar lid and post cap. This design features wild animals, each side of the lantern has a different motif and is meant to fit 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) flat-top fence posts.
This model is for private use only, you do NOT have the right to sell commercially.
To get started, you will need the solar light replacement top ( if you purchase from somewhere else make sure it has the same dimensions as otherwise it won't fit ):
-
with 7 cm diameter for the top and a 6.3 cm hole. You can purchase it here.
-
Alternatively, you can use the bulb version with 7.5 cm diameter for the top and 6.5 cm for the hole available here.
You will also need 4x #6 beveled screws to attach the post cap to the post.
Start with screwing on the 4"x4" post cap to your post. To install the lantern on the post cap, align the slots with the tabs and twist to lock in place. If cap and lantern are not aligned rotate the lantern to next slot. If you want a certain animal facing one direction make sure you rotate the post cap accordingly before screwing it in the post. The solar lid has 2 pins which fits in the holes of the lantern.
I hope you like it! Happy Printing!
