Description
This is an enclosure that I made for the BlinkM RGB led from ThingM - blinkm.thingm.com/.
Instructions
There are 4 parts to print, I assembled them in the following way:
[box.stl] [top.stl] (diffuser) [plate.stl] (BlinkM) [back.stl]
I spray-painted in white the diffuser-facing side of the plate part. I attached the BlinkM to the other side of the plate with hot glue -> the led must be centered under the diffuser, and the 4 pins must go through the hole in the "back" part.
For the diffuser I used a ball which I cut in half from a roll-on deodorant like this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deoroller_DB.jpg
There should be a small space between the floor and the rear part of "back.stl" so that you can put double-sided adhesive tape under it to attach the light wherever you need it.

Deodorant ball as light diffuser, brilliant. I've got one that I can now save from the recycling bin! Reduce, reuse, recycle. Cool 8-)
