LED diffuser shell

thingiverse

I've been crafting custom multi-panel lights from individual LED chips and needed a diffuser that could be placed directly over the electronics to gently soften the light. The shell can be resized as required and features a small ballast situated across the bottom to securely hold the unit in place while allowing for gaps that facilitate air circulation around the LED source. This design must be printed using either translucent or clear filament. In its V2 version, the diffuser has a central hole in the ballast to channel wires efficiently through.
