Multiboard Overhead Worklight

This is my solution for wanting an overhead LED light that works with Multiboard.

The files work as uploaded but this is still currently a work in progress. Functionally they are fine, aesthetically, and proper design/printing standards  they are not. This is designed to use WS2812 Leds controlled via WLED. My setup is also powered by an independent 5v3A Power Supply.

In the arms there are holes that snake through from the side and into the joint, then into the actual lightbar housing. These are designed to pass 3ea 20AWG wires through, it is a tight squeeze but they fit. I wanted a light where I could see no wires. 

The arms connect to the Multiboard panels with 2 Multipoint flush pieces on either side. The joints use an m3 heatset threaded insert on one side and a corresponding m3 screws on the other to join them together. 
The actual lightbar itself prints in 3 pieces and is glued together along with the Bar Joiner pieces in the cutouts for mechanical connection. I recommend doing this top down on a flat surface and buying an XL clamp from Harbor Freight to assist. 

For printing you will need to print two Arm all three of the separate lightbar pieces and six of the Bar Joiner pieces. You will also need to print these, Multipoint mid threads, or any flush mount multipoint.

No supports are needed when printing. Print the arms top down as well as the individual light bar pieces.


Please Check back for updates as I am actively making this more mechanically sound and less of a jumbled together 2am Cad Rage design session. I have a diffuser for the light also but am working on the best way to model the joints as it has to be printed in separate pieces. There are already corresponding grooves in the bar to accommodate this. 


Please give me you feedback if you make this so I can improve further.
