Flashlight Blinder

thingiverse

This blinder is a very useful bit of equipment if you often walk around in the dark with a flashlight, especially if there are other people around who you dont want to blind (for police/military duty, for walking your dog in a park etc). Because of its generous size it creates a very sharply defined shadow line that lets you illuminate a person's legs and torso at 20 meters distance without shining any light in their eyes. It was specifically designed for the affordable but extremely powerful Convoy S21A flashlight that uses a 21700 size li-ion cell, but at 100% scale it will fit on any flashlight with a head diameter of one inch/25,4mm, like the Lumintop FW3A enthusiast flashlight. The blinder can be adjusted for smaller or larger flashlight head diameters by heating the slide-on clip spring with a hairdryer and adjusting it, or simply by enlarging or shrinking the whole print with the "scale" function that any slicer has. Make sure you print it standing up, so the layers are orientated correctly and the plastic clip has the necessary strength.
