RLW Lightpainting Tool Adapter Kit

thingiverse

This is a set of flashlight adapters and tool caps designed for use with various lightpainting tools. WARNING: There are numerous files included in this kit. Over the past 3+ years, I have developed an adapter system to enable seamless integration of any type of light tool onto flashlights. It's now time to share this comprehensive collection with the world. The journey began when I pondered how lightpainting tools could be connected to flashlights for maximum performance. I also sought a system that is effortless to use and allows for swift tool changes as needed. Several options were available at the time, but most significantly reduced the light output from the flashlight. Therefore, I analyzed numerous flashlight models and determined that an optimal light cone diameter of 40mm was ideal. This entire system is based on this diameter, which suits most flashlights perfectly. There may be a few exceptions with larger heads, but they are not typically suitable for tool use. Each adapter consists of a component attached to the flashlight itself and a cap that can be securely fastened using a flange-like connection. Simply place the cap into the adapter and turn it slightly to secure it in position. The "Flash Cap Connector" adapters available for various flashlight head diameters are incredibly versatile. Some versions even feature conical holes specifically designed for TPU filament, ensuring a precise fit between the adapter and the flashlight head. This collection includes tool caps for blades, acrylic rods, spiral suncatchers, light whips, fiber optics, printable cylinders, printable pins, color filters, hoods, and many more. Browse through the designs to discover innovative ideas. Many of these caps and adapters can be easily modified by enlarging the hole to accommodate additional tools you may possess. Feel free to remix these designs and share your creations with others.
