Cover/Diffuser for Govee RGBIC LED Permanent Outdoor Lights - Models H705A, B & C

Did you install the Govee Permanent Outdoor lights only to discover that you're being blinded through your window? 

Well, here's the fix for that. This model can completely black out individual lights, or work as a diffuser. It all depends on what color of filament you use. 

Wait, can't you just turn off individual lights in the Govee app? 

Well, yes. But, as far as I know, you can't turn off individual lights when using preset themes. 

Models

There are three blanking models and one tester model:

The Cap

This version uses the least amount of material and is best as a diffuser as the light will still show around the side of the LED housing. 

The Cover 

This version is intended to be used with my other model, the Mounting Brackets for Govee RGBIC LED Permanent Outdoor Lights. The Cover model will cover the top of the light all the way down to the top of the mounting bracket. Suitable for use as either a diffuser or for total blackout of the light. 

The Complete

This version is for those who have installed the lights using the provided 3M tape. It's also suitable as either a diffuser or for totally blocking the light, again depending on the filament you use. 

The Check

This model is just a small piece you can use to test fitment before printing a bunch of these. This is important because depending on your brand and type of filament and your printer brand/model, you may need to play with the scale a bit for the perfect fit. The models are designed to fit snugly and are held in place by tension. Too loose and they may fall off. Too tight and they may not fit your lights. 

Included Files

You'll find .gcode files for each model for just a single light. Also included is a .3mf file with all versions (including the Check model) so that you can reslice them as desired or to add additional copies to your print. 

Printing Instructions

I printed my mounts with the following settings which are incorporated into the included .gcoode files:

• Printer: MK4 (with Input Shaper)
• Filament: Generic PETG (ASA or ABS is also recommended)
  • If you want to completely block the light, then I suggest using black filament. 
  • If you want to simply diffuse the light, then you'll want to use a lighter color or clear filament. 
  •  I also don't recommend using PLA due to the potential heat that the mounts may need to withstand. 
• Print Settings: 0.20mm (speed)
• Supports: None needed. 
• Infill: The infill doesn't really matter, but I used 15%, with a grid fill pattern. If you're using clear filament, you may want to experiment with the fill pattern. 
• Nozzle: 0.4

Assembly Instructions

Simply pop them over your light. That's it!

Feedback

As always, thank you for taking the time to check out my model. I’ve put a lot of hours into this project to get it just right. Please consider clicking the ❤ and/or leaving me an encouraging comment if you appreciate my effort. 

If you print this model, please take a picture, post your make here and leave a review. ;) 

If for some reason you don't think my model deserves five stars, please reach out to me with your feedback before leaving a negative rating so I can have an opportunity to address any issues. Often, problems encountered can be solved with some simple trouble shooting or a small redesign. 

If you have suggestions on how the model could be better, please let me know. Along those lines, if you would like some adjustment to the model that you personally would find helpful, please reach out. I am more than happy to tweak the design to fit someone's needs if I can. 

I will continue to update the model with new variants as long and often as needed to ensure it is the best possible quality. See the Updates section below with notes on changes to the models. 

I’m always happy to share my designs with anyone who wants to use them. For now, the license does not allow for remixing because someone was trying to use my designs to make money without permission. It should be noted that the files nor the printed items based on them may be sold.

If you really appreciate my work, you can also donate to my PayPal filament fund:

Notes

Note #1:  This model was designed in Fusion360. It was sliced in PrusaSlicer 2.7, using the MK4 Input Shaper profile.
