AI Blade 12" Shade

AI Blade 12" Shade

Single piece, no tools or hardware to install, just clips into the holes each end.

I used PLA as its the only black filament I currently have, 
but if using other types - consider rigidity as the tabs/ends may snap during install if it doesn't have a small amount of flex.

Being so long, flat and thin, my first print warped after completion -
Honeycomb and higher % infill seems to have fixed this issue (with PLA).

Additionally I found letting the heat bed cool down to naturally release it helps in reducing warping.

NOTE: If for some reason your model has rotated and you're getting a conflict error - ensure the model is not in the white box at the bottom left of the plate.

If you want to do the same as I've done pictured, with 2 Blades - 

I used 2x 32HD HMS Brackets attached to 2020 extrusion using corner connectors, m5x8mm bolts and t-nuts.

Drilled out the holes and used m8x10mm bolts to attach the lights.

If using the front shade you will need m8x16mm bolts as they incorporate a spacer in the design.

I have also made a front/rear shade and added separate profiles as optional parts.

There is an angled option if you like the lights how I have them pictured, and a flat option (however is untested at this stage) if you prefer that.

I have also slightly modified the front shade model from the pictured one - it is 5mm shorter and slightly different shape.
