Hey! Posted this in the timber thread but figured I'd share here too. This is the 300w kit that I put together. I 3d printed (nerd!) some connectors for the L channel and a little mount for the dimmer. Tried to get the timber wording and tree logo in there as well for bonus points. Dialed down to 100w right now with a lone seedling in a 3x3 tent. 1st(ish) grow, pretty excited.

Thanks! Yes,I designed and printed all of the green pieces you see.
Thanks! Depends on if you want to include the cost of the printerthats brilliant
What did each piece cost to produce?
Really takes more time than anything, each piece was ~3.5 hours print time. Cost of plastic would be less than 10 bucks total, I'd have to weigh it to be exact though.

all with a mini control to run 16 strings of 30 separately. sick, sick ,sick. pretty soon you won't see lights as special as ours.

Yea, I have a Rostock Max v2 with a few modifications. It can print up to 10.5" diameter x 15" tall parts (circular build platform) Takes way longer than screwing it all together but I like how it turned out and I can just reuse the pieces if I want o go bigger.

These are the 3rd and 4th generation versions that have come as a result of my DIY COB project.
Gen #3 is the smaller 3 light module.
Gen #4 is he larger 6 light module - The two 3 LED light bars on this unit are tilted in at a 15% angle towards the center, it is a bit hard to see in the picture.
I am going to be posting some more information about these units in the coming weeks.

What what here were we have the single engine 3590 space shuttle clip on or bolt on cobb light drivin with a 75 watt meanwell driver bright as shit . You can toss this in a closet and do some veg. Like a 2×2 spot .WE BUILD LIGHTS. We shine in the dark with a cobb . Also a 50;mm fan tapped to the heat sink and wired in just plug and play. And also you just pivot the heat sink in any direction and done all due to the simple RIVET TO THE HEAT SINK CUSTOM CLEAN JOB.

Also stay tuned and we will see if I can get two pounds a watt like growmau5. Just did with the cherry pie. My light is built to the Same specs as his Canapy Ten and he just posted a video with the entire break down of par spread because people were asking me about my lights performance and I don't know yet but I do know that its the same exact light as his and he admittedly said adding the extra reds and blues didn't make a difference, so essentially they are the same. 4'5×4'5 coverage to achieve two grams a watt

I love the design, add as many as needed clean and simple and adjustable angle
