IKEA BESTA-LEDBERG Ball-joint Holder

thingiverse

Ball mount for IKEA LEDBERG spotlights. Thanks go out to HenriDIY for originally designing the holder, which I then trimmed down so that the lights would twist-lock instead of being a compression fit. If your printer is slightly off-calibrated like mine was, you may have to experiment with scaling before getting a perfect fit. Credit goes to Donovan for the ball joint; I'm not sure if he created it himself or found it. Some notes on this project: * Everything prints without supports. The slot for the plug on the holder can be a bit rough, and the bottom threads of the bracket might not be fully formed, but the prints work fine. * You'll need to glue the holder and ball together with the cap in place. You can't put the cap in afterwards; I learned that one the hard way by trying to print them all together. Epoxy was my go-to for gluing. For mounting on BESTA cabinets, screw holes will need to be drilled out. A 9/64 drill bit worked best if you're using the screws IKEA includes with their cabinets and shelves; these holes aren't pre-printed so it can be used in other places too. Brian Harrison
