2020 Extrusion Light Fixture

thingiverse

The 2020 extrusion mount is an extended version of the one I found in the "Webcam mount for common webcams - on Voron 2.4, Trident, 2020 extrusions" files on GrabCAD. Mounting holes and counterbores were opened up for M4 screws. Thank you, Ilia O.I added a webcam to my printer, so that I don't need to go up and down the basement stairs as much, but this raised a new problem. I can't leave the printer running in the dark anymore. There is a light fixture in the room with the printer, but it's something like 6 feet (2 meters) away from the printer, and doesn't light up the build plate all that well.I modeled up a mount and reflector to try and direct as much as the light from the bulb as possible onto the build plate. I attempted to optimize it for my Ender 3, but the light diffuses a lot, and it does still cast a lot of light beyond the 230x230mm bed. The light fixture will probably work for many printers. The position of the light fixture can be adjusted in one axis, and along the 2020 extrusion, as necessary.I might, at some point, chamfer the corners of the reflector, but I'm going to finish the enclosure eventually, and the one that I printed will probably get recycled.Bill of Materials:RuiLing 2-Pack E10 Mini Bulb Holder Plastic Light Beads Lamp Bases Screw Type Bulb Socket Black Lamp Holders Student Experiment Lighting DIY AccessoriesALIDE E12 C7 Led Candelabra Bulbs 6000k Daylight White, 60 Watt E12 Halogen Equivalent,T6 Small Base 120V E12 C7 LED Light Bulbs 6W Bright Cool White for Ceiling Fan Chandelier Light,550lm(10Pack)iExcell 450 Pcs Metric M4 x 5/6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20/25/30 Stainless Steel 304 Hex Socket Button Head Cap Screws Bolts Nuts Assortment KitiExcell 1500 Pcs M3 x 4/6/8/10/12/16/20/25/30/35/40/45/50 Stainless Steel 304 Hex Socket Button Head Cap Screws Bolts Nuts Washers Assortment KitSpzcdZa 2020 Series T Nuts,105pcs M4 Sliding T Slot Nut Hammer Head Fastener Nut Nickel Plated Carbon Steel, M4 Half Round Roll in T-Nut for 2020 Series Aluminum Extrusion ProfileSorry, I don't don't have experience with any bulbs that you can buy in smaller quantities. Yes, I know that I am using E12 bulbs with E10 sockets, but the bulb fits and works fine. I didn't even notice there was a mismatch until just now.
