Repair / Mini Solar Dancing Flower

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5437740.

This is a replacement "stalk" for a mini solar powered dancing flower. We've had it in the family for many years, and it has been broken and repaired many times. This time it was so badly broken that the only option was to make a new stalk from scratch.

This is such a tiny part that I really didn't expect it to work... but it did!

There are two tiny pins on the face of the model which are used to attach the "face" on the flower. The originals were about 1.25mm diameter. Here they are modelled as 1mm. They printed out surprisingly well and a little gentle filing brought them down to the 1.25mm diameter. Amazingly they haven't snapped off yet.
