Solar light and useful openscad script (Patreon)

Customising Poundland's biggest solar globe (great base for projects)

One of the best bits about this product is the large diffused globe with matching base. Aside from customising the colour and intensity, it could be adapted to make a simple USB powered night light, or even a glowing pendant light with an alternative power source. I've included an openscad script at the bottom of this description. It can be used to create a base for this light to allow it to sit on a windowsill or table. The script has variables that can be adjusted to make it suitable for many other things too.
