Barrina T5 Vertical Grow Light Stand

Tripod stand for the popular Barrina 1ft T5 LED lights (affiliate link here https://amzn.to/4kfLAJn 

Unfortunately, my house does not receive much sun so these Barrina lights have been a godsend for my indoor plants. I didn't like the idea of my Monstera only growing upwards and so considered a vertical light to help ‘fan out' Monty (original, I know). From a quick search, some vertical grow lights are prohibitively expensive. And so, now was the perfect time to learn CAD from scratch (I uhhh… lost the step files sorry)

25mm dowel can be used for the base where 6g 40mm+ countersunk screws are inserted from the top to secure the dowel. The ends will need to be cut at a 30* angle at whatever length is required. The end which fits into the stand don't need to be cut at an angle. Alternatively, 3 different heights are included.

The lights are best mounted to a 20mm x 12mm piece of wood (or any other material) for upright support, the lengths are dependent on how many lights you plan on stacking.

Lastly, metal clips are installed with small wood screws 10-15mm deep so as to not poke through.

The mid plate has locating pins and a recessed cutout to lock the light holding part in place. I printed mine in ASA and used an ASA-slurry to glue the pieces together. For all other materials use epoxy, CA, hopes & dreams.

Print settings:

• 0.4 or 0.6 nozzle
• Adaptive layer height
• 3 walls
• 3 top/bottom layers
• Whatever infill you want

Other Materials:

• 25mm dowel (for the legs)
• 6g 40mm+ countersunk screws (also for the legs)
• 20mm x 12mm piece of wood to mount the lights
• small 10-15mm wood screws for light mounting lips
