LED Recessed Spot Diffusor Inlay

thingiverse

This is a diffusor inlay for GU10 LED (!!!) recessed spots. As the design of GU10 LED spots is awful - in most cases you see those SMD-LEDs - I had the idea to insert an inlay that dress up the look of them. It's no spectacular design - it's just a 50mm zylinder with a hight of 0.4mm. :-) Nevertheless, by inserting it in front of the GU10 LED spots, those SMD-LEDs aren't obviously visible any more. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT USE THOSE INLAYS WITH HALOGEN-SPOTS AS THOSE GET VERY HOT AND THE INLAY WILL MELT!!! ONLY USE THEM WITH LED-SPOTS THAT STAY COOL!!! IT'S UP TO YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY AND RISC TO USE THEM!!! ENSURE THAT YOUR LED-SPOTS ONLY GET LUKEWARM WHEN IN USE!!! TO SAY IT AGAIN: INCORRECT USE CAUSES THE RISC OF FIRE!!! You can print it with transparent or white filament (PETG or ABS recommended). If you want to have some color-effect, you can use coloured filament as well. If you want to have thinner or thicker inlays, just adjust the z-hight in your slicer. In my case, I decided that 0.4mm is a proper hight. As you only print between 1-3 layers, your heatbed/first layer hight should be leveled quiet well. I recommend to let the print cool down because the thin inlay tends to bend if you remove it to early.
