Print settings

Important: Do not use any other light source than LED with this Design. Depending on the strength of your LED certain parts of the print might warm up. Your filament has a certain heat deflection temperature that defines at which temperature deformation might occur. Make sure to build a safe product by verifying that the print is not affected by the amount of heat that your light source emits! If you are uncertain or have little experience in building electrified products, please consult a professional!

Usually, a strong LED bulb does not get hotter than 50 degrees Celsius while regular PLA does not deform under 58 degrees Celsius. Those are approximate numbers, and you need to verify that for your own product selection.

Material usage: 400 - 500 g

Material: Filament that can handle the heat that your light source emits.

Print direction: stls are rotated correctly, check images

Support: none

Nozzle size: 0,4 mm

Line width: 0,4 mm

Layer height 0,2 mm

Outer walls: 2

Infill: 15% gyroid

Build plate adhesion type: none, a brim for the head if you have poor bed adhesion

Depending on your wall line count, your infill type and percentage you will get slightly different results. With more wall lines the chances that the infill will shine through decreases. If you like the look of a slightly visible gyroid infill, go for the settings above.
