Shield for LightView Pro Flex magnifier lamp by mcgeehd

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This design is specific for a great little LED magnifier light, the LightView Pro Flex.
This light is very bright and flexible -- it is easy to position for close-up work. The problem I had was when using it as a work area light the lower edge of the light is very bright and annoying. Also, when extended or turned the light can become not as stable as I would like.
So, I made a shield to block the side visibility of the light and a weight to provide more stability when the light is extended.
The fit of the shield isn't perfect but you can use a hot air gun to mold the back edges of the shield to fit better and to wrap around the area where the switch is located.
I used some redi-mix mortar that I had laying around to fill the weight cavity.
This is the lamp:

The weight will print without supports.
The shield requires supports. I used S3D with 4 dense support layers at 80% infill and also 15% infill, 1 base layer, and no extra inflation distance for the standard supports. For the automatic generation I used 1mm support pillar resolution with a 50deg max overhang angle. With care, I could remove all the interior supports in one piece.
