3D print kessil

[powdertang05]

Does anyone know or seen a 3D printed cone for the a360x? I’m blinded when I walk up to my aquarium and the wife won’t let me have a floating canopy. Any ideas.

I posted not too long ago about Kessil light spill. On this thread, about in the middle posted about 3D printed cover:

Im located in Canada, I could help you with the cone, I do not own a Kessil light but i could try and throw something together , just need measurements
Im currently building an 85 gallon cylinder and printing my own custom lid
Had to split it up cuz its so dam big
Im hanging my lights under the arch
I just started playing with 3d printed corals

If your Kessil has light spill, it is mounted too high to be doing any good for your corals to begin with. Over 6" off the water is a total waste and with the 360x, the distance can usually be far lower before it spills all over the place (i.e. 3" above the water). Kessils arent Radions and shouldnt be mounted in the same fashion (they lose a huge amount of PAR). The narrow reflector is $30; I dont think you'll be able to print one much cheaper.

The beauty of 3d printing it is necessarily about the cost but the customization that is endless, filament is actually not expensive and goes way further then you think, just time consuming for detailed prints
As I said i do not own one so i just googled it and my first thought was an old school movie light with the 4 flaps that you can adjust
I agree if you have that much light bleed its way to high up
Would look cool mounted in a case like this
