Linksys e8450 LED Light Dimming Mesh Cover

prusaprinters

<p>I got a Linksys e8450 router a few weeks ago and the first thing I noticed was the brightness of all the blinking LEDs. &nbsp;I wanted a way to lower the intensity as I'm in the room at night and it can be a bit distracting.</p><p>So the idea here is just a mesh shield that clips over the front. &nbsp;The surfaces of the router are very smooth and there isn't much to clip onto, so this is more of a friction fit.</p><p>I printed this in Overture Black PETG. &nbsp;I have the router above a cabinet. &nbsp;It can easily be removed. &nbsp;Tolerances and other dimensions can be changed if desired. &nbsp;You could trim off parts of the print to test a small section before you commit to the final print.</p><p>OpenSCAD source is included. &nbsp;Experiment with the slot width and margin if you wish.</p><p>The diagonal slot code is my own and seems to work okay. &nbsp;I just did two of these and made an X for the grid. &nbsp;I have the router about 7 feet or so above the floor. &nbsp;At many angles, I can't see the LEDs at all, but they can be seen at other angles. &nbsp;For me, that's great. &nbsp;Make the holes bigger if you want more light.</p><p>Major changes to the variables may not work well. &nbsp;If the rounding is too large or the gaps are made too small the screen may not render well. &nbsp;If you need help with this, just ask.</p>
