Ring Light LED Strip Base

thingiverse

This is a very basic LED strip ring light backplate/defuser that I designed as I didn't know if I would like use one enough if I bought it from a store. More than anything I just wanted to know if it would make me beautiful. It didn't, but there is still hope for you. I suggest printing the defuser with 100% infill and use transparent filament if you have it. Otherwise, you may want to load the step file into your CAD model editor of choice and reduce the thickness of it. There is a mounting hole on the bottom to accept a standard screw size for a tripod adapter if you so choose to mount it on one. The base is also pretty small, so if you want it to stand anywhere by itself without some double sided tape or a weight, it won't. Things I would change if I made a Version 2 (which I likely won't, but you can): * I would make the base slightly thicker to make room to have a V channel in it to allow for two led strips side by side, as the current shape makes it impossible to stick you LED strip two it without wrinkles, and twice as many LEDs would just give you more even light coverage. * I would make the base larger so it can stand on its own. * I would add a small slot at the bottom/middle for the LED strip to fit through so the wire would come out the back. Should anyone decides to link a remix to this file making the v2 changes I suggest above, I will post it below this comment for others to find in the future.
