LED Light Socket - No Solders No Metal Spring
thingiverse
This socket is designed to fit bulbs commonly used in cars, such as brake lights and turn signals. It doesn't require soldering or a metal spring. Instead, it uses a penny and the flexible jaw to keep the contacts firm and secure. I created this design for my lampshade project and hope you find it useful. LEDs are extremely affordable and consume very little energy. You can now illuminate your entire house without any excuses not to create a beautiful lamp for your wife. -------- Update: 3/9/2018 - Removed Penny_Light_Socket.stl - Added Penny_Light_Socket_v2.stl - Added Penny_Light_Socket_v2_screw.stl Not all printers are the same, so I increased the cavity size by 0.3mm to ensure the penny doesn't get stuck. Additionally, I moved the ground contact point farther away from the penny to prevent short circuits. If you prefer not to use glue, v2_screw.stl is a great alternative. For this project, I used 20pc LED bulbs purchased on Amazon for $20 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071V2DBWP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
