LED Holder for use as Indicator

thingiverse

I needed a green indicator light for my panel or dash, and I had a 5mm LED on hand. To keep the LED inside the holder, I used hot glue. The holder takes a 5mm LED and fits into a hole 12mm in diameter. It took a 6mm LED to fit into the same-sized hole, but using translucent filament made it easy for the color to show through. Since I only had 5-6mm LEDs on hand, I decided to use green Inland PETG filament instead. The files for making the nut and "bolt" are available in OpenScad. I used Threads.scad, a fantastic library built by Dan Kirshner, but I didn't create it myself. As per his comments, I included it as GNU. The design is pretty raw, but with the OpenScad file, you can customize it to your liking. My printer struggled with the tight clearance in the threads suggested by the library, so I made the nut about 3% larger than necessary. Feel free to scale it up or down as needed.
