Mounting supplemental LED to Kessil AP9X Mount

mlivvy · May 2, 2023

I need to add some supplemental lighting to my AP9X due to alot of shadowing. I was thinking about 3D printing 2 brackets to hold a 21" Blade to the front of the AP9X using the AP9X specific mount. I printed a piece to test and it felt pretty sturdy. Anyone think its a bad idea?

Are you sure the AP9X mount can support the additional weight?

I’m not sure.

Did you ever come up with a solution? I was thinking of doing the same with blades as well

I couldn’t come up with a design I felt comfortable with to support the blades. I found someone on instagram (jc reef) with an ap9x and a reefbrite add on for radions. I got some info from him on how to mount and went with that. The reef brites actually did the trick and i’m happy with the setup.
