Solar garden light ground stake
Solar path lights come with flimsy stakes that snap in dry soil or when a foot catches them, and once the stake is gone the light is useless. This replacement is a 200 mm spike with a cruciform cross-section 20 mm across for stiffness, a 22 mm socket at the top 30 mm deep that fits the light's plastic tube, and a small retaining lip. Print it point-up with a brim in ASA or PETG, with 100 percent infill in the lower third for driving into compacted ground. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Create a solar light ground stake 200 mm tall: a cruciform spike 20 mm across with 3 mm fins tapering to a point, a socket at the top 22 mm outer diameter and 30 mm deep with a 19.6 mm bore and 0.4 mm retaining lip, and 1 mm fillets.
Fit notes
SpeakCAD matches the socket to the tube diameter of your lights, so a pack of eight replacements will fit the whole path. Ask for a longer spike for loose soil or a paving-slab base instead.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
