MR16 worklight with Gopro mount & magnetic base

thingiverse

Inspired by Preso's design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:868477) & Zvarga's remix of Preso's design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2070282). I wanted the cables to enter from the side, and not the end as per Preso's original design, and I liked the Gopro mount idea from Zvarga, however this model did not work for me as the Gopro mount is not sized to accept a Gopro fitting. I also wanted a more compact package than either of these designs. I therefore created this design to meet these requirements. As I will be using this on workshop machines, I also designed a Gopro style mount that accepts a 15mm x 5mm thick rare earth magnet to allow me to position the light wherever I need it. I have created an alternate version of this lamp with a side mount for a flexible arm, see: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5204154 I have printed these using PLA, and fitted 5W MR16 LED lights to them without any heat issues. Cap is fitted with M3 countersunk machine screws you could also use self tapping screws). For the magnetic base: when printing I selected the mirror function in Cura to print the magnetic bases with the nut socket on alternate sides according to my intended mounting location. I hope you like it: please post your make
