Headlight Dust Covers

[colport833]

Hi..just got these covers made...when things warm up..will be installing/trying them. This should solve Led fan fitment issues

Do you have a file for them? I'm struggling with the same issue

You didn't use PLA did you?

 

[dandydog250]

I did not use anything yet

Color me confused. Closing off a cooling fam in a small enclosed area.

I think he was asking the OP....

And yeah PLA would be a huge waste of $$ and time. PETG, ABS, or PLA+ at a minimum.

Finally, I would also be interested in said .STL if it's something that could be acquired easily. Might not ever need it but I also don't wouldn't want to spend the time with protos if possible. Fingers Xd!

My bad. . .
I'm having a friend print some up 100% infill, and yes I do believe it is out of pla. Which should be fine.
Halogen bulbs get a lot hotter than the driver on an led, need the cover to keep out the moisture I thought the one cap being almost all the way on would be good enough it is not.

I spun mine on locking one side in and resting on the led fan, its on there solid and it gives it some air to cool off.
It makes no difference in town but on long trips when they get hot it allows them to cool and prolong the life of the bulb.
And I haven't had any moisture or dust yet.

If it is PLA even at 100% infill it's going to lose it's shape pretty quickly once engine bay and summer heat get to it.

PLA is good for prototyping something like this but you're gonna want this printed in PETG or ABS eventually.
