3D model description

Extrusion LED Light for any 3D Printer with Extrusions (e.g. for Creality Ender, Artillery...)

Needed a brighter light for my 3D Printer. So here for a change a 3D Printer light based on a GU10 spot (which does NOT use LED strips).
Major advantages in my experience:
- cheaper (all you need is a GU10 socket and a GU10 spot - together <USD 5)
- easier to install (simply clips on/slides into the extrusion)
- much (!) brighter light
- fully printable, fully adjustable
- runs on 110/240V, so no need for step up/down buck converters
- no need to open your printer (to find that 12/24V connector)
- fast print (approx. 3h total)
- Compatible with pretty much any 3D printer built using extrusions

The only drawback I have I have come across so far is that the light comes from from a single direction rather than a long bar (which I think is easily compensated for by the fact that it is so much brighter).

All you will need is a
- GU10 ceramic socket (approx. USD 1.6 - these already come with screws to mount to your print) and a
- GU10 LED spot (approx. USD 3 - I use the warm 3000k variety but this is completely up to you)
- Two M5 hex screws (ideally one 16mm, one 20mm) and nuts

FILAMENT
- For the shade ring I use glow in the dark filament. Just a gimmick, but nice to have, it lets the ring glow after turning off the light.
- For all other parts I use easy to print Carbon Fiber PLA , which adds that little extra strength and gives this beautiful soft touch and semi-gloss shine,

PRINTING
Printing is super easy. No supports needed (as usual with my designs). You can print everything (except for the shade ring) in a single print. I use 30% infill and 0.25 mm layers. The entire printing time should be around 3 hrs.

ASSEMBLY
I have included exploded view figures, so assembly should be very straightforward. You can either slide the extrusion mount into the extrusion or clip it on.

I really hope you like the design and find it useful. If you feel like tipping (thanks in advance), rather than clicking the "Tip Designer" button, PLEASE donate to UKRAINE (or any other people in need). These people will need any help they can get (a lot more than I do)! THANKS!!

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, AND IF YOU LIKE THEM, PLEASE LIKE THEM. THANKS!

Enjoy and happy printing!

Caveat Remember, whenever dealing with electricity and high voltage to make sure that you absolutely know what you are doing.
