Deformable LED Light Diffuser

thingiverse

The deformable LED lights supplied by AliExpress deliver exceptional lighting for a workshop or garage, but the lights themselves can be quite painful to look at directly. I designed a diffuser that clamps onto the aluminum LED frame with ease. The front face of the diffuser is offset about 1cm from the LEDs. I'm using the 100W variant of the LED light with the diffuser in place, and the diffuser stays remarkably cool, not exceeding 30 degrees C (warm to the touch). I printed these diffusers in white PETG because I wasn't sure how hot the plastic would get (turns out it was a non-issue). I have yet to attempt printing in PLA, but there is only a little deflection when you snap it on; PLA would likely be fine. Print with 4 vertical shells, and the front face should be printed with just 2 layers (.45mm) thick - infill doesn't really matter due to very little infill volume. I used a 0.2mm first layer and 0.25mm for subsequent layers. Using a colored or translucent filament would likely give some amazing effects! A Fusion 360 file is included if you'd like to tinker with it. Link to Aliexpress LED Deformable Lights - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000152963660.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dVKDtaQ
