IKEA BESTA-LEDBERG Ball-joint Holder

thingiverse

Ball mount for IKEA LEDBERG spotlights. Thank you to HenriDIY for the original holder design. I trimmed it down so that the lights would twist-lock instead of being a compression fit. If your printer is slightly out of calibration (like mine) you may have to experiment with scaling a bit before getting a perfect fit. Thank you to Donovan for the ball joint. I don't honestly know if he modeled it himself or found it. Notes for this thing: - everything can print without support. The slot for the plug on the holder is a bit dirty and the bottom threads of the bracket may not be all there, but the prints are fully functional. - You will need to glue the holder and ball together ***WITH THE CAP IN PLACE!!*** The cap cannot be put in place after the holder and ball are joined. Ask me how I figured that one out. I tried printing the three together, but glue proved to be easier. I used epoxy. - For mounting to BESTA cabinets, screw holes will need to be drilled. I found a 9/64 drill bit to be the best size if you intend to use the screws that IKEA gives you tons of with the cabinet and shelves. The holes are not pre-printed so that this can be used in other places. Brian Harrison
