Large Panel Indicator Light Holder

thingiverse

This is a large diameter (54mm overall, 49.5mm lens) panel mount indicator light frame designed to fit [WS2811 addressable LED pixel lights](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ws2811+led+pixel). It is intended to fit into a 1-1/8" (~29mm) hole in sheet metal or thin plastic chassis boxes or control panel faces. It would likely also work fine in thicker materials up to about 1/2" (~13mm) thick with the same hole diameter. The project contains three parts: the diffuser lens (print in white), the back nut and the collar assembly. No supports should be needed for the diffuser or nut, but the collar should be printed face down with supports. Be sure and select "touching build plate" for the supports, or you'll be picking unnecessary support remnants out of the threads. To assemble, do the following: <ol> <li>Paint the inside cup of the collar white to aid in light distribution. <li>Glue the diffuser inside the collar cup with model or super glue. <li>Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole in the desired surface (suggest using a step drill for sheet metal). <li>Fasten the assembly in place with the nut. Note that the front surface has a small notch around the inside perimeter, which is intended to mate with the shoulder in the back of the collar cup. <li>Press the WS2811 LED into the rear of the collar assembly. </ol> Thanks to [Paul Ireland (terahurts)](https://www.thingiverse.com/terahurts/designs) for the [PCO1881 Soda Bottle Thread](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2693686) profile.
