Awesome job Ben! I love how you use incorporated so many ideas and skills into this project. You are not helping me resist getting a 3D printer for the shop! STOP IT!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I enjoyed watching this. It made me really think about how I would do this type of project. You did several things in a way that would never have occurred to me to do it. I also like that you used many of the tools and skills you have available rather than just picking up something like an off the shelf battery housing. Great job and the video editing and camera work is top notch.

+Michael Lawing Thanks Michael. I like to show specific and useful applications of printing as opposed to just printing for printing's sake.

Lots of cool tricks you put into this one. You gave me a lot of ideas. Do you know what color temp those leds are? If they are close to 5000k that would work for a nice ring light. Thanks for sharing!

+Hammer and Neil Thank you. I'm not sure what the color temperature is, though for a flashlight as low cost as this it may not even bee a consistent color from one batch to the next.

Ben Brandt haha I didn't think of that. I'll probably just compare some daylight bulbs to those LEDs and see.

I absolutely love this project but for the life of me can't understand why you didn't just use the original battery compartment with a few minor modifications?

Looks like you're being a little lazy with the 3D printing! 😋 Could have printed a snap-on cover for the custom battery case, and you would have had a smoother back panel (if that was an important factor). Seriously though, nice upgrade from previous version!

Ha, not as lazy as it seems... That was actually a second design and print of a battery compartment. Though you could certainly print a battery cover.

I don't think this is one of your better projects. Couldn't you have just mounted the entire flash light at 90 degrees to the front panel with a diagonal white reflector and the same box and be done with it?
@HammerandNeil

I think there are a lot of ways to accomplish the look. I do like the incorporation of 3d printing and the long strip of LED. I think the long strip would distribute the light better than just mounting the flashlight inside the box.

+Robert Evans maybe so, and that may have been good enough for some, but not up to my standards, and this way was more fun and interesting for me. Still being relatively new to 3D printing, this was a perfect exercise to design and print custom parts to serve a purpose.

How about print a holder for the unmodified light at the end of the box and the diagonal reflector dado cut into the top and bottom behind the front panel?
@BenBrandt22

+Robert Evans it could certainly work, though for me the modification is the fun part. I don't plan on making any more of these anytime soon, so I'd be happy to see what other folks come up with.

harbor freight has a small portable panel for small charge like that, I also had one for my truck when it was parked for a while I just threw it in the window and ran it to the battery kept it charged. I got that one from pep boys auto parts.
