The small “No Soliciting” sign in our front entrance gets missed as my wife wants it be be discrete so i figured i could make a nice looking yard sign and i'm quite pleased with the results.   

2 versions/profiles available.   “NoSoliciting-Front” profile is single sided just like the images while the “NoSoliciting-2Sided” has the “No Soliciting” text and border on the back side as well,  easily paintable in your slicer.

 

My first print came out perfectly, but pushing into my lawn caused the body/legs intersection to crack when using force laterally and thats where i came up with the modifiers to increase strength and for me it worked great.

I found that if you modify the sign itself to have more walls, use the same number of walls on the modifiers or it will be visible as seen in the black sign. Its not really something people would notice, especially from a distance but i just wanted it to be clean.

So essentially just modify the infill percentage to increase the strength at this interface

 

 

Next tip would be making sure your print bed is clean and maybe give your bed a few degrees more on the temperature as the stakes/legs did start to lift. This did not impact the functionality but something to be aware of. I also tried adding a thin horizontal negative modifier line just above the sharp ends of the stakes just to relieve lifting stress which also worked. (Just 1mm wide and deep, across the bottom)
