Aquarium Light Holder for Kessil (or others)

thingiverse

I needed a mount for my Kessil lights. I recently upgraded my aquarium from a 46 bowfront to a 90 gallon. I keep planted tanks and I like an open top. I created an acrylic frame that went around the top of the tank to discourage fish jumping out, and needed a way to mount my lights. This may not work for everyone, but it's easy to modify for your particular needs. The print consists of two parts. a mount which sits on the acrylic and the arm which holds the lights over the centre of the tank. For the mount, you will need to print it vertically to avoid support. The arm can be printed on it's side with no support. (I always try to avoid support if I can). The mount is designed to mount on 6mm (1/4") acrylic. Should be easy enough to change for your particular use. The arm slots into the mount. The mount should fit on any printer. The arm is fairly long. I was able to "JUST" fit it on an Ender 3, corner to corner. If you have a larger printer, no problem. I created the drawing in Fusion 360. Please note that I will not make mods for people. Please don't ask. If you want the original fusion files, I'm happy to share those.
