This is my solution for how to mount the Chihiros Magnetic Light to a nano tank. I made it to fit 5mm glass thickness.

This is a light stand made to hold the Chihiros Magnetic Light that I will link below. This is the best lighting solution for small aquarium scapes. I designed it to use the metal disk that comes with the light as well as the ability to add some 3x10mm magnets to the back of the disk to increase hold strength. I used the slicer to program a pause the layer before the disk is to be covered. For me at .02mm layer height this was layer 49. I also made a revision of a small notch at the mounting point to stop the capillary action from pulling water out and down the back of the tank.
2/28/2024: Added a new stl that has more structural supports to add strength but the original design is still here for anyone more worried about aesthetics.
**DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE SUPPORTS FROM THE MOUNTING AREA**
This is necessary for easily adding the disk and resuming the print.
Please follow ,drop a like and post makes if any of you get use out of this. I really like this light for small tanks because its programmable from an app and is small and effective. The link below:
