Bowens mount for Profoto OCF light modifiers

thingiverse

I really love Profoto light modifiers but didn't want to spend another $4,000 for two additional B1x's to complete my three-point lighting setup without breaking the bank. I already have one B1X for key lighting which I adore, and I'm excited to utilize it in a new way. I found some old Studio Pro strobes lying around that I never really used or enjoyed too much, but they'll suffice for hair and fill lights. I decided to try making my own printable version because the OCF speedring alone costs $100. At the time, I didn't think about it, but I ended up making mine in blue PLA. Looking back, I probably should have chosen black or white so it wouldn't change the color temperature of the flash. I haven't tried using it yet to see how it performs. I used three walls with a 0.4 nozzle to create my design. You don't need support for the half-oval holes, but you should definitely add support for the three tabs that hold the Bowens mount in place. For future revisions, I need to make it so it can swivel in the middle. Imagine putting in a strip light and being able to control its angle and lock it into place - that would be really convenient!
