Interior Lights - Easy Solution 3D Printed Bracket

[mblur05]

Hi Everyone!
I designed a special bracket that I 3D Printed to fit above the Rear Passenger overhead bar using the bolt that's the single recessed V spot. I used a battery-powered LED light that has its own switch from Amazon. I had to drill out the slots on the LED light so that the M4 bolts with Flange Nut could go thru.

Click my Amazon link below for the light I used. I purchased two and I mounted the second one on the Rear Roll Bar in the rear cargo area since these lights come with a Roll Bar Velcro Strap as well.

This was my idea to fix the dim lighting in the rear passenger area. I wanted something that wouldn't need to be hard wired.

I would be open to making these 3D Printed Brackets to sell but I need to know if there would be anyone interested. Not sure what price I would sell it for until I can figure out the logistics. It will fit on the Driver side or the Passenger's side.

Let me know if you're interested on this post then I will know if this is worth it to sell.

Here is my Amazon Affiliate link for the LED Light I used:

These are now available on my Esty store. See the link below.

Want.
I’ll start off by offering $20 each, or $40 each if you include the light as a package deal (preferred).

Interested

That won’t affect the side curtain airbags?

Can you send me the stl file? I work in the dental lab industry doing cad/cam work. I work with a lot of 3D printers and would like to print this for myself.

I don't believe it will affect them since it sits above, and the light I used only comes down like 1 inch from the angle. You could get a smaller flatter light to mount on it too.

I was thinking around that much for the bracket alone.

Being an Engineer I came up with the design after figuring out the fitment specs. If you want to buy my 3D file out right I'm open to an offer. If this has a high demand that people want to buy and you want to 3D print it & sell, then I would want something for my work.

Did you use the velcro straps for the one in the rear & just the bracket for the side ?
I would be in for one.

Here is the light in the rear using the velcro strap and a close up of the bracket mount.

IAG is currently working on a full system just like this (But guess it's power from the Bronco)... To be released soon.

Pretty sure they verified it doesn't interfere with the airbags.

There is a mounting bolt in the cargo area at the center backside of the roll bar. I wonder if you're mounting bracket would work there?

Obviously I don’t know the expense of 3D printing. I was just giving it a WAG.
Fortunately we still have free enterprise system where you can set your price.

The main mounting hole was made to fit the bolt above the airbag which is smaller than the holes on the Roll Bar. I can change it or you could drill it out. The slots can fit a 1/4" dia bolt and the overall length is 8in.


@SuperDave150 I was thinking around $20 each before you posted Lol! 3D printing isn't that expensive to do and it's fast. It's a great prototyping method. This bracket doesn't require a lot of material and it's not that large.

Based on my cost to design it, print, materials, and shipping, that pricing sounds close to what I might sell it for if I make them.
