Flood Light Housing

thingiverse

I designed and built this DIY flood light housing for my animated Christmas light display. The display synchronizes lights to music, and I incorporate this item into the show. To illuminate it, I used RGB LEDs controlled by an Arduino-based controller. After some delays, I finally mounted them and integrated them into the Christmas light show on November 28, 2017. Although the housing and reflector might not focus or reflect the light efficiently, they add a cool effect to the display. I created the design elements using Tinkercad and sliced the parts with CURA. For the reflector, I chose white PLA for its aesthetic appeal. The LED mount, arm, and base were printed in black ABS. Here are my print settings: Printer: Monoprice Select Maker v2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20% Notes: For PLA prints, I use a 210°C temperature for the print head and 60°C for the bed. For ABS prints, I use a 245°C temperature for the print head and 105°C for the bed. I don't use any cooling fan for ABS prints.
