Nitecore LA10 Diffuser

thingiverse

I replaced my built-in diffuser on the Nitecore LA10 Lantern with a new one.\r\n\r\nMy Nitecore LA10 Lantern took a tumble off my car's hood, and in the process, I shattered its original diffuser. After carefully disassembling the lantern and measuring everything accurately, I printed out a replacement from PLA. However, I'm not convinced that PLA will hold up over time; it might start to soften or melt if exposed for too long. In retrospect, I would probably opt for PETG or another more durable material in the future.\r\n\r\nThe new diffuser fits perfectly on my lantern. Be cautious when disassembling your LA10, though - I ended up tearing one of its rubber washers.\r\n\r\nTo access the diffuser, simply remove the screws from the side of the flashlight, taking care to remove the washer first. Then, unscrew the middle nut and gently pull out the clear o-ring. Finish by twisting the diffuser counterclockwise from the top. It's a bit tricky, but if you try it yourself, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
