Happy to help anyone that needs 3D printed light spill shades. Lead times will vary as well as print time.

I'd like to order some shades from you. Is there a email or way I can message you? Not familiar with site..I always appreciate any feedback fellow reefers provide on these light spill shades. I have received a lot of positive feedback from reefers that have purchased my light spill shades which provides me with potential ideas...
I am contemplating offering a potential upgrade that would include a reflective surface inside the angled portion of the light spill shade. Most of my customers use diffusers which will decrease the PAR output. Rather than increase the intensity of the light itself which will cost more in electricity in the long run, a simple reflective surface has the potential to regain some PAR without increasing electricity use.
Feel free to chime in on this and share your experience. Everyone's needs and goals are slightly different, but I am here to try and help as best I can.
Happy reefing!

one potential enhancement i would like to suggest is some sort of vent ports on the shades. One thing i noticed is that the shade which goes around the entire light traps warm air inside and as a result the fans on the light run more than they would without the shade. Having some vent ports in the highest parts of the shade might help with this.
I have the vent holes which allow the air to escape from the light fan vents... what i mean is that since the shade creates a cone underneath the light warm air accumulates there. It has no where to go. Some holes are required to allow it to escape. I have 3 lights and notices that if i take the shade of any one of them it runs cooler than the others throughout the day and the fans don 't kick on nearly as much or as loud.
exactly. with 3 sides you avoid this problem
@Derrick0580Couple questions….
1. Can these be printed in white and then I paint the outside black so that the white is the more reflective color on the inside and I do not have to worry about paint chipping off into my tank?
2. Are they easily removed for heavy tank maintenance for extra work space?
3. Can you print something similar to these for the ai prime hd? All the ones I have seen are just the standard straight wall shades.
@HudsonReefer2.0Waiting on mine. Should b printing this weekend. Ty @chemisfun11 Will post pics when on the lights.
Where can we view more of your stuff? I’m looking for something similar for the hydra 32sI am actually exploring reflective surface addition. I think it can be a relatively easy to include, but it would have to occur as a post production process.
