@pitvi, I agree. Their designers should get some inspiration from an Italian lighting company GNC.

Good questions on the weight. It appeared to be holding in that photo you posted in the first post. Difficult to test everything without an actual xr15. The flex arm is pretty sturdy. I used ABS plastic which is strong and rigid. It screws together snugly but it is plastic so potentially could be overtightened and the threads stripped in the adapter. One of the difficulties in designing when you don't have the actual item to test with. I have octopulse 2 wave makers so I designed nem guards for those that take the place of the original guard.
Thanks for the offer but I need someone to test the adapter on an xr15. It's already printed.
No I haven't tried it on an XR15 yet. I can send you the prototype. Msg me your address and I will put it in the mail.was this ever tested?? I have a hydra 26hd over the frag tank that I'm going to switch to a xr15 geo 5 pro maybe next week. and have the same arm currently on my tank. possible to get the file or send one to test??
Do you mean XR15? Yes I can still print these.
Yes, however I have had reports of the flex arm not supporting the light in some cases so I am not keen on selling them. When I first tested them I used it on my flex arm here and it held. Maybe the new flex arms are weaker?

It could work better if it is stiffer than the Hydra flex arm. I have not seen it in person though. The attachment to the light is different also. So without the Hydra32 flex arm I can’t redesign the adapter. Maybe I will look into getting one to work with.Dang okay. Any chance you have tried the hydra 32 flex mount? I would think that flex arm is more sturdy since it is designed to hold a larger light and is closer in size to the xr15.
Hydra LED Flex Arm
Now you can easily mount your Hydra 32 LED light with one of the simplest methods available; the Hydra LED Flex Arm. The sleek look of the mounting arm is enhanced by the silicone sleeve over the flexible portion of the mounting arm. The design of the arm mounting bracket lets the arm spin into...
Could you show us a photo of how it swivels to the side.
Hey man! I have a 3d printer and just got myself a g5 xr15. Would you mind sharing the file to your design? Also do you need any hardware or are the threads directly into the plastic?
