Description
Schedule 40 / 1" PVC adapter for my old solar-powered walkway lamps. The original plastic-and-metal stems broke on a few, so I replaced with some spare wooden closet rod (3/4" dowel, basically). Those rot after a season or few.
This adapter screws into the glass bit with 1/4" bolt, and has an inset to help hold the nut on the bottom. Use a washer (preferably a rubber-faced sealing washer) inside the glass to soften / support better.
Print in something that can be in the sun a lot; I used PETG, eSun white matches PVC nicely. It's not as stealthy as the original "brown" color but it looks nice so far.
