Description
In order to gain better control over the light from my Aputure Amaran MCs, I 3D-printed honeycomb grids to greatly reduce the light spread.
For this, I used a depth of 7mm and tested various infill percentages: 10% (pictured in Image 6), 15% (Image 5), and 20% (Image 4). Ultimately, I preferred the results from the 15% infill.
Additionally, I designed a mount for four Aputure Amaran MCs that features a 1/4-inch heat-set insert, allowing it to be easily mounted on a tripod.
I recommend using PETG for this print. The lights can get quite hot, which could cause a PLA part to warp and lose its precise fit. In my test, the mount held the Aputure Amaran MCs securely even after they were running at 100% power for an hour.
Future Plans (if there is enough interest):
- Add a slot for a diffuser out of
- White PLA
- Transparent PETG
