LED Lamp mount for Loc-Line 3/4 inch x 3 inch Ball Socket

I remixed blacksurgeon's great cold shoe mount design for Adam Savage's workbench LED https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3499175. Green print in picture is PETG, first version, Clear print in picture is PC, and Version 2. I originally printed blacksurgeon's cold shoe but there were gaps in my print between the LED square mount piece and the thin-walled ball socket, which ended up snapping clean off. Also, the ball socket attachment was not a tight fit to support the weight of the LED lamp. ***Update*** My wife somehow figured out how to snap off the square mount piece on the PETG version I printed for her so back to the drawing board! I went back in and added some extra filament around the square mount piece on top, increased the square mount height thickness with an extra 1mm, and also added .40mm inside the female socket part at the bottom because it printed wider with Polycarbonate for some reason. The new file is called "LED Socket Holder2". After you print, some filing might be needed to ensure your mount slides in the square piece or if your screw-down piece on your LED lamp doesn't have enough clearance height for the extra 1mm I added to the top. The new socket holder fits on super tight now and holds her LED lamp even better!
