Hey!
I was looking at the mounts for the XR15/30 and the hanging kits. Up here in Canada, that kit is $82.50 with tax... mmm nope! The RMS I also didnt think would work with my rimless biocube due to the reach past the AIO. I had seen from Sydney Reefing the extruded aluminum light mount and was thinking something small like that would be great! Unfortunately, 1010 sticks up here are still $30-40 for a 4 pack on amazon, and i really don't need that kind of strength for a 3.5lb light, nor the extra pieces. I am fortunate enough to own a Bambu P1S, and designed a 200 mil 1010 stock, the premade mounts for 1010 I found from another creator (Thanks Fushi!https://www.printables.com/model/1010506-ecotech-radion-xr30-1010-aluminum-extrusion-light), and I designed up some eyelet hooks to hang all of this. Ill add some toggles in the ceiling and some thin wire rope, and will have a DIY hanging kit with the ability to mount accessories or other lights for probably under $20 in material.
As expected, I could print a longer 1010 stock and setup a XR30 with minimal extra. The mounts Fushi made would also be fine for multi-light mounting on a aluminum stock of 1010.
ANYWAYS... pictures! Picking up my light tomorrow and will test. accessories are printed with 100% infill, the 1010 stock is 50%.
Ill load test the hanging mounts to see what they can handle. Everything is in PLA at the moment, and if it works i may swap to PETG if I notice any sag. For the first week or two Ill run some glass over the tank incase my Radion decides to become a Radi-in...
