Parkside 12V flashlight with adjustable head

thingiverse

This is a remix of my Milwaukee M12 system flashlight adjusted to Parkside DCBK-70-12 battery used in Parkside PBSA12B1/PABSW10.8 screwdriver. It features a head with an adjustable angle, made from MR16 LED bulb. **BOM** To assemble it, you'll need: - 3D printed lamp head. - 3D printed upper piece of the body. - 3D printed lower piece of the body. - 3-5W MR16 LED bulb with a radiator featuring M28x1 thread (see photos). - 2 x 8mm length M3 screws. - 3 x 16mm length M3 screws. - 2 pieces of spring-type metal sheet for connectors (see photos), The wider part is 6mm, the narrower part is 4mm wide. - 1 piece of 21x15mm rocker on/off switch. - 10cm of 2-wire cable. - Soldering iron. **Notes** The assembly process is very similar to Milwaukee version so check it to see all assembly steps. There's a small difference - due to the difference in connectors shape I pushed connectors from the inside of the battery socket and soldered wires afterwards. My LED bulb uses almost 5 Watts and gets really hot (over 60°C) so printing lamp head with plain PLA may not be enough. I used PETG and it's holding okay. PLA could probably be used after "baking". There seems to be a lot of MR16 LED bulbs with M28x1 thread on Aliexpress. I checked the MR16 bulb from this page and it fits the thread perfectly. Bear in mind that the power of those bulbs is greatly exaggerated, 9W bulb in reality draws around 3W.
