I originally added the LED arms and lights to my 5 gallon bucket with lid from here but they were really floppy.

So I mixed the LED holder with the half spacer with no turn that I remixed from here.  To get the lights far enough away from the plants, I extended the arms 80mm.  I also tweaked the end of the arm slightly to rest all the way down on the body of the half for a bit more structure.

To assemble this, you need to print

  • 1 half with light support
  • 3 long arms
  • 3 LED_Holder_Tip from here

You'll need 9x #8-32 x 1-1/2 in. machine screws & nuts to attach the arms to the half and the tips to the arms.

I used these LED lights as recommended from the original design on thingiverse.

I used these settings:

  • half - about 2 hours at regular speed on my Bambu Lab X1C
    • critical supports only (so just the 6 little “legs” that stick out)
    • 3 or more walls
    • 30% infill
    • 0.2mm
    • no brim (although you may want a brim)
  • long arms - about 4 hours each at regular speed on my Bambu Lab X1C
    • no supports
    • 3 walls
    • 50% infill
    • 0.2mm
  • LED Holder Tip (don't remember print time)
    • orient vertically (to preserve the cleanness/dimensions to fit the LED lights)
    • supports are needed
    • 30% infill
    • 0.2mm

 

I did this quickly in Tinkercad so it's not perfect, but function over form :)
