<p>This is a flashlight for Milwaukee M12 battery. It has a head with an adjustable angle, made from MR16 led bulb.</p><p><strong>BOM</strong></p><p>To assembly it, you will need:</p><ul><li>3d printed lamp head.</li><li>3d printed upper piece of the body.</li><li>3d printed lower piece of the body.</li><li>3-5W MR16 led bulb with a radiator with M28x1 thread (see photos)</li><li>2x 8mm length M3 screw</li><li>3x 16mm length M3 screw</li><li>2 pieces of <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/20pcs-lot-6-3mm-Copper-Male-Wire-Splice-Crimp-Terminal-L15-Spade-Connector-Free-Shipping-Russia/32655259302.html">6.3mm spade male connectors</a></li><li>1 piece of <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-KCD1-perforate-21-x-15-mm-6-pin-2-positions-boat-rocker-switch-ON-OFF/32729944207.html">21x15mm rocker on/off switch</a></li><li>10cm of 2-wire cable</li></ul><p>soldering iron <strong>Notes</strong></p><p>My led bulb uses almost 5 Watts and gets really hot (over 60°C) so printing lamp head with plain PLA may be not enough. I used PETG and it is holding ok. PLA could be probably used after "baking".</p><p>There seems to be a lot of MR16 led bulbs with M28x1 thread on aliexpress. I checked MR16 bulb from <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/x/32830588347.html">this page</a> and it fits the thread perfectly. Bear in mind that power of those bulb is greatly exaggerated, 9W bulb in reality draws around 3W.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>0.2mm</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>25%</p><p><strong>Notes:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Support is needed but it is very easy to remove it with long pliers, and almost all surfaces touching support are invisible after the assembly.</p><p>I used X-Acto knife to fix cuts around four locking pins in the lamp head part to ensure that all four locking pins are working as springs.</p>
