<p><strong>THIS IS FOR 4W to 5.5W LED LIGHT BULBS 'Enclosed fixture rated' ONLY</strong><br/> <strong>DO NOT USE WITH A REGULAR BULB OR FLORESCENT BULB</strong></p> <p>I have not used it with a florescent bulb but they are hotter than LEDs so I wouldn't recommend using one of those. I wouldn't go over 5.5W (40W equivalent) either as that is all I have used. I would recommend trying PETG or ABS for this print to make sure it holds up to the heat but I have only used white PLA so far and it has been holding up so far. Using PLA with a color will likely cause it to get hotter than using white so I would stick with white.</p> <p>With that all out of the way...</p> <p>This is a ceiling fan light cover/diffuser that I designed to replace the original open glass version on a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan I purchased 12 years ago. It uses the same twist lock type design to hold it in place as the original. The size looks like a standard size that will likely work with other ceiling fans. Even if your fan doesn't support the twist lock, you should be able to set the screws to work with it. You can just print the Base to find out if it will fit or not.</p> <p>I created this to cover up the light bulb as it bothers me to see the light bulb on fan lights. I think it looks better too. Make sure to only use LED lights as I am unsure what would happen if you used a regular bulb. At a minimum it would melt the plastic and drip it onto your floor or couch. Worst case is it starts a fire so please make sure to use LED light bulbs as they don't even make the plastic cover warm in my experience.</p> <p>It was made as 2 parts so that you can get the LED bulb inside it. You put the base plate on first, Insert the LED bulb into the socket, and then put the main part on. It helps to slightly turn the main part as you put it onto the base that you put on first.</p> <p>2019-01-05:</p> <ul> <li>Renamed thing to make it more generic sounding instead of putting Harbor Breeze in the name. I realized that the mount for the diffuser on the fan seems to be a standard size so this will likely fit other ceiling fans too. Even if your fan doesn't support the twist lock, It still should work. My fan just has nubs sticking out on the inside where screws would go on other fans.</li> <li>Increased overhang on base clips so that they hold onto the main part that goes around the bulb better.</li> <li><p>Made base plate thicker so that it doesn't flex as much when putting on the main part. 2019-01-07:</p> </li> <li><p>Made base inner part thicker to match top of base plate. 2019-01-19</p> </li> <li><p>Somehow deleted the main shroud last edit so I added it back</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2 mm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> Ziro PLA White <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>0.4 mm nozzle<br/> 0.4 mm Line Width</p> <p>0.8 mm wall thickness ( 2 Wall Line Count )</p> <p>0.8 mm Top/Bottom Thickness ( 1.2 mm if your printer has trouble with supports )</p> <p>Top/Bottom Pattern: Lines</p> <p>Top Surface Skin Pattern: Concentric (To make the top look nicer)</p> <p>Support Pattern: Zig Zag</p> <p>Connect Support ZigZags (enabled)</p> <p>Support Density: 20%</p> <p>Print with the opening of the Main bulb at the bottom and use supports. I recommend using Cura's Gradual Support Infill Steps set to 2 and Gradual Support Infill Step Height set to 3 so that it is easier to get the support material out as it will be less dense up until the last 6 mm at the top.</p> <p>Print the Base upright with the smaller opening down and use supports.</p> </div></p></p></p> Category: Replacement Parts
