This is a model I've created to fill a need: When you buy a 2ft. LED plant light from Harbor Freight, it does not come with a stand. Also, I have a smaller printer, and I am not able to print a 60cm long support piece. The design is not complicated, but does require good dimensional accuracy from your printer. You will need to print six (6) of the 20cm pieces, four (4) of the couplers, two (2) of the 15cm pieces, two (2) of the tees, and one (1) each of the top clips. The light is not fully symmetrical; each clip connects only to one side of the light. I have segmented the first 0.8mm of thickness on the bottom of the 15cm and 20cm pieces to help prevent the model from pulling up from the corners and distorting the shape at the end. If an end does raise from the bed slightly and distort the shape of these pieces, you can use a heat gun to warm them enough so that they will fit. The tees do not sit flat on the build plate, so you may want to play with orientation and supports in order to get the best print results. I am thinking through a redesign of the tees to make for easier printing, but I am a bit short of time. Additionally, I think some ribs in the middle of the 20cm pieces about 40mm from the end might help the print to retain its shape. I am open to suggestions. To Build: Each leg is made of two (2) 15cm pieces attached to a tee, with three (3) 20cm pieces perpendicular to the surface, connected to each other with two (2) of the couplers. The top of the leg is crowned with a clip, designed to hold the light fixture securely. The triangular portion of the frame (the 20cm pieces) point inward. This shape was chosen for ease of printing with minimal supports, and to add some additional sides for a more secure fit with some clearance. Caveats: This model works well for me when printed in PETG. I would probably buy a metal stand of some sort if I needed to move the light frequently, however.
