Mini Maglite AAA LED Flashlight Mount for Laser Pointer Robot

thingiverse

The Mini Mag-lite flashlight that I designed this mount for is model number P32012. It is the LED version (100 Lumens) powered by two AAA batteries. The mount is secured with (2) M3x25mm hex head screws which work well (m3x30mm screws are just a little too long) I used screws from the following kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0812TYT5L The flashlight is held in by friction inside the mount tube. I made the mount protrude enough to clear the following 23mm thick Nema17 stepper motor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TGJSNJB It is possible for this flashlight to revolve the full 360 degrees in both altitude and azimuth. I also added a removable clamp that fits over the mount that is based on the OpenSCAD code here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31982 The clamp fits nicely over the mini-mag mount and I use the clamp in combination with the following cell phone holder in order to take photos and video: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2423960 I printed everything with eSUN PLA+ and chose superglue to secure the clamp to the cell phone holder and secure the clamp to the minimag flashlight mount with (2) m3x30 screws and nuts (m3x25mm screws are a little too short). My cell phone rotates nearly 180 degrees in altitude before the cell phone mount becomes obstructed. I printed at 0.28 layer height with 100% infill in just over an hour. I recommend printing the minimag mount with support touching bedplate only (so you don't need to clear out the thread holes) and also with a brim. I included a step file as well for the flashlight mount. Enjoy!
