SB-900 and SB-910 SPOT GRID and GEL Adapter V2.0

thingiverse

(29/3/2018 see also https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2843797 for a wider grid) Adapter to fit Nikon SB-900 and SB-910 speedlights. Collimates the light into a narrow beam and allows you to add a gel. There are 2 circular holes on the sides of the bracket, grid and gel only adapters to glue in 10mm diameter x 3mm Magnets (Jaycar.com.au part # LM-1622). One of the multicolour images shows the magnets (in red) fitted. Standard Rosco sample pack size will work perfectly. There are also 2 tabs that allows fixing to the flash with a rubber band if the little clips inside wear out. They also will help in removing it from the flash as pulling handles. GEL CLAMP (7 June 2017) added. I printed it out (again at a low res 0.2 and only 20% infill) and it looks OK. The idea is to clamp a gel between this (or the grid adapter) and the bracket. Soon I'll publish a slightly wider grid, keep watching. NB!! If you wish to shoot rapidly and/or full power, please ensure the vent holes in the bracket are nice and open. Speedlights generate a fair chunk of heat and you risk melting the gel or speelight fresnel lens. UPDATE (6 June 2017): Added in the updated grid and slightly altered the magnet holder on the bracket. Removed the gel only, will post when I have printed and confirmed fit. Also added some images of the printed versions and results on using (the mask is called Donald Dump LOL - I often use him to test lighting setups. 1st picture is flash only, second is with grid fitted). Note that I printed the grid on 0.2 low resolution and only 20% infill. I looks OK and is strong enough. If you want, change to 0.1 layer height. Let me know how it turns out for you. There is a fair bit of cleanup with support material so choose wisely..... I used white silicone to glue in the magnets (you'll need 4). Prior to 6 June 2017: This is the updated version. It should fit better. All older versions removed. I have also added vent holes and moved the grid/gel a few mm away from the speedlight fresnel lens as, when a flash is fired in rapid succession, there can be quite a lot of generated heat.
