Navigation light for on a boat. Fits a 15mm rod as mast (in my case a stick)
Print in PETG,
Needed:
- 50cm 5mm LED COB light strip, for example
- A longer USB cable (I cut the end of an old charger cable)
- 53 mm diameter ‘slim’ drink can.
- Cut it into a 50mm high ring with a box cutter. Make sure the ends are flat and not bent. Watch out for sharp bits!
To Make:
- Thread the USB cable through the side hole on the bottom. Make a knot in it so it cant be pulled out.
- Solder the usb cable to the led strip. Test if the polarity is ok.
- Cut the LED strip to length, along the dotted line on the back. I used enough to loop around the can three times for a bright but not too bright light.
- insert the metal ring in the bottom part.
- Stick the LEDstrip on the metal ring.
- insert the Diffuser into the top part. Press it firmly in place. This is as tight pressfit!
- Mate the top and the bottom parts. Rotate untill the metal ring is completely in its slot. Press firmly done.
