PAR38 Spotlight Filter Holder

<p>This thing allows you to use inexpensive color gel filters on your<em>LED</em> accent PAR38 spotlights for the holidays.</p> <p>My home has a bank of accent spotlights. In past years, I've used expensive ($20) colored halogen bulbs. I've recently updated the spotlights to LED and they run so much cooler I figured I can add cheap gel filters instead of buying dedicated bulbs. (I can't find colored LED spotlights anyway!)</p> <p>The holder should fit any PAR38 bulb. If you stick with halogen, you'll need a filament that can take the heat!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Household Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2rqZ6Uo">i3 MK3</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.3mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20% (doesn't matter)</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusa PLA Grey<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Print 1 frame and 4 brackets.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p>After printing the frame and 4 brackets (I placed them inside the frame for printing), glue the brackets to the frame.
