Simple and effective. Used SUNLU Transparent PETG.

Diffuses the light bar so it's not uncomfortable to look at.

Great model! Took some trial and error to get the right thickness and infill, but works great!
Printed the original base with custom difusor, after that noticed some imperfections do i did edit the base too.
My remix is available on site.

I like it very much. The light looks so much better with the diffuser on. I've printed this in Pla with 20 % infill and 1 mm wall and it's just perfect. Thanks for the design.
Which infill density did you have the best results with? I dont want to accidentally add too little/too much infill, I just want enough to where I'm not a deer with headlights everytime I turn on the printer's LEDs lmao
@Shori_469363 I believe I used 20% infill? I haven't reprinted since I first designed it, but I usually will just slide down the LED brightness if it's more than I want. It's still pretty bright at 100%, so maybe try printing a couple different prints at different densities to see what works best for your space. They don't take too long to print and they don't use a ton of filament!
Good design! I printed in PLA with no infill in the defuser and it takes off just enough glare to get a better image from my printer camera. Thanks for sharing!
@Lone_Wave Looks great! Thanks for checking it out. If you're up for a little more modding, I also have a design to relocate the light a bit further forward to help reduce the shadow cast by the current light bar, it seems to help quite a bit.
Which material do you use to have a good transparency/diffusion?
@Bobbylebob I actually did this in PLA, although you could have different results with transparent PETG. I think I'm going to print another cap at higher infill to get more diffusion.
