Neewer PT-176 light Shroud for Neewer CN-160 Diffuser

thingiverse

This is a 3D print of a shroud I designed for the Neewer PT-176 video light to accommodate the Diffusion kit that was originally designed for the popular Neewer CN-160 video light. Unfortunately the CN-160 Diffuser will not fit a PT-176 as there is not enough shroud for the diffuser to hold onto. There have been a few work arounds to mount this diffuser to the PT-176 but most of them block the air from circulating. This print does not block the vents on the PT-176. This print is a snug fit and will hold on with friction. However I have designed it to have both a hole for the 1/4-20 nut at the bottom and a slot on the top so one of the stiff diffusion gels can hold the shroud in place from the top. This shroud will be a bit big for the CN-160 Diffuser but will work as intended as the diffuser uses elastic velcro straps to hold onto the shroud. NOTE: This is a quick print (3.5 hours). Although this is what I did and it seems to help with sagging in the diffusion slot, I don't recommend it if you are a newbie to 3D printing. I made the diffusion slot in the shroud the same thickness as 2 of the hard diffusion gels that come with the PT-176 kit. When the printing gets to the area where the slot is being printed, I lay the 2 hard gels in where the slot is going to be. This STL file doesn't seem to do infill to keep the slot from sagging when printing the top part of the slot. The 2 gels just support the filament when the printer gets to that point in the print.. I leave the hard gels in place until the print is finished. The key to making this work is to find something that will support the hard gels that is about the same height of the slot. You can forego all of this and just let your printer manage the slot on its own if you wish. But you'll need to file the slot clean after the print has finished. Enjoy, I hope this helps somebody.
