Adapter ring to make 1590BB enclosure deeper (STEP file download in thread)

I need one of these for my duocast build! The transformer hits the lid by about this much. Would you sell one of these? I don't know anyone with a printer....
 
Not sure where you live, but a lot of public library systems have maker spaces set up at larger branches with 3D printers that are free to use.

Sorry man I don’t have easy access to a printer beyond what mdc just said about libraries. My brother made this for me and he’s too busy
 
Sigh, I've hunted and hunted but can't seem to find a solution.

I have an Aionfx Straylight coming up in my queue and Tayda only has the 1590bb2 that I think I can get away with if I had a spacer (Want the ability to UV print obviously). If anyone can help me get an adapter ring made It would save my arse.
 
Small Bear used to have LED rings for enclosures which can be used as spacers (you may need to drill out some areas). I don’t know if they still do or if they ever had them for the 1590BB, but it may be worth a shot!
 
Interesting thread, which opens lots of possibilities. The extra volume it could provide has already been well discussed by others.

But you definitely could use translucent filament (clear or color-tinted) to satisfy @fig's desire for an illuminated enclosure ring.

And you could use electrically conductive filament to help address the shielding concern, albeit with tradeoffs. The filaments that are subsequently processed to give pure metal results involve substantial cost and added complexity (you have to design for their processing-induced shrinkage). The conductive plastic filaments are much less expensive, require no special post-processing, and are easier to print - however they are roughly a million times less conductive than aluminum. (e.g., see https://all3dp.com/2/conductive-filament-brands-compared/ and https://www.3dsourced.com/3d-printer-materials/best-conductive-filament-pla/)

I can print the ring no probs if your in the states... I've not tried it but if the file is good i can run it

well.. the file is no good... the file is an entire enclosure and shows up as a solid box

That's what I thought. I opened the file in an online editor for a printing service and thought I had messed up somehow. Oh well, thank you for the consideration.

Honestly, just using adhesive backed copper shielding would probably be enough with an opaque plastic for aesthetics.
