The Current Kits LED Work Light is a fully 3D-printable tool designed around common power-tool batteries. Choose the battery version that matches what you already own — DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, or Bosch Pro — print the parts, add the electronics and hardware, and build a functional work light from scratch.

This project was designed to be more than just something cool to print. It's a genuinely useful workshop tool that can be repaired, customized, and rebuilt instead of thrown away.

Work Light Features

• 1260LM flood LED pod light

• Powered by your existing DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, or Bosch Pro battery

• Built-in low-voltage shutoff to help prevent battery damage

• Large 16mm latching push-button trigger switch

• Adjustable LED light head

• Fully 3D-printable body and components

• Designed to be assembled and repaired with standard hardware

• Customize it with your favorite filament colors

• Complete hardware/electronics kits are available from Current Kits if you don't want to source the components yourself

Print Settings

The work light is easiest to print and works great in PLA, although you can use whatever material you prefer if you would like a tool that is more durable or more heat resistant.

 Recommended settings:

• 0.4mm nozzle

• 0.16mm layer height

• 3 Exterior walls (6 for pivot bracket)

• 15% gyroid infill (25% for pivot bracket)

• No brim required

• Supports - Only a couple of manual tree supports in the specified areas in the build guide/3mf file.

Bambu Studio 3MF build plates are provided for each battery version, with the parts arranged and print settings included.

Electronics and Hardware

Build Guide: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ozGWX3aR8jR0CrrtlepzOjpAWCzNxKjo0WeJc2cQdvQ/

For simplicity the electronics are intentionally designed to be assembled separately before installing them into the printed components. The build guide walks through soldering the shutoff circuit, attaching the battery terminals, installing the electronics into the handle, and completing the final assembly. All electronic and hardware components can be sourced through our website here or you can source them yourself: https://currentkits.com/products/work-light

• 1 - Nilight 1260LM flood LED pod

• 1 - 15V low-voltage shutoff board

• 1 - 16mm latching push-button switch

• 2 - brass battery terminals cut from 1mm plate

• 2 - M3 ring terminals

• 20cm - 18AWG silicone-insulated wire

• Fasteners

  • 2x M3 Nylock Nut

  • 2x M3x6 Button Head Screws

  • 1x M3x8 Button Head Screws

  • 4x M3x10 Button Head Screws

  • 4x M3x12 Button Head Screws

  • 1x M8x20 Cylinder Head Screw

Important: Follow the wiring instructions in the build guide carefully. Incorrect connections will damage the electronics.

Complete electronics and hardware kits are available from Current Kits for this project. The kit includes the electronic components, hardware, terminals, wiring, LED pod light, and other parts needed to complete the build. The build guide also includes a complete parts list and assembly instructions.

Why Current Kits?

Building your own tools is one of the best parts of 3D printing. Instead of printing another object that sits on a shelf, you get something you can actually use. Current Kits are designed to be:

• Fun to build

• Useful in your workshop

• Repairable

• Customizable

• A more sustainable alternative to disposable tools
