Begode Master Rear Led Light Mount

thingiverse

<strong>2023-01-12: Made some minor adjustments for better fit on frame and for the led strip, nothing major.</strong> A replacement mount for the rear led light on the Begode Master. There are two problems with the stock mount for the rear light: A) It's made of a stiff and fragile plastic that breaks easily and is in such a position on the wheel that it can happen easily from just dropping the wheel on it's side never-mind a slow speed crash, this replacement mount when printed from TPU will be hard to break since it's flexible and can easily be replaced if needed. You can print this mount to either replace an already broken stock mount or just to preemptively avoid it all together. B) The stock LED mount is made of a thick tinted plastic that dims the LED and makes it much less visible to the point of almost not visible at all, this replacement mount does not cover the LED and since the LED strip on the Master already comes inside a diffuser made out of silicone having the diffuser exposed will give the rear light a really nice bright and soft visible glow, this makes a big difference in visibility (plus it looks much cooler). I suggest printing this part in TPU, I printed it with 100% infill myself to make it a bit more rigid, optional to use Cura Fuzzy Skin feature for some texturing (see print notes below). Before installing the LED diffuser in this mount I suggest making sure there is sufficient silicone at both ends of it to protect the LED and the cable itself from water ingress, so when removing it from the stock mount you probably want to apply some silicone there, when removing the LED from the stock mount you most likely have to cut the silicone with a sharp knife just be mindful of the wires. For installation you can put some double sided tape beneath the LED diffuser to better fix it in place against the mount but other than that it will stay in place because of the grooves in the mount.
