C7 Style LED Pixel cover

thingiverse

Based on the specific design of Andrewar's c7 cover found online at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9719 this product was specifically created to fit snugly around the 12mm Pixels and dumb LED lights commonly used in outdoor Christmas light displays, such as mine. Measuring 55mm high and 24mm in diameter, it is designed for a firm grip on these types of lights. Two layers were used in its design for added strength, and extra support was added at the point where the base meets the lamp, making this product capable of withstanding outdoor use throughout the holiday season here in Australia. A sample was printed using white ABS, but final versions will be produced using natural ABS plastic, which will then receive a clear UV-protective coating from Krylon to ensure they remain looking their best for several years. **Instructions:** Build walls two layers thick and use 0.2mm layer height and print speed at 60mm/sec (you can also try going faster without issues). Apply 100% infill, but reduce it by one or two layers near the transition point of base to lamp sides where only minimal filling is needed, and no supports are required at any time during the printing process.
