I wanted a fixture of some sort to be able to attach some grow lights to but also be able to move them up and down fairly easily. The files attached are my attempt at doing that. I have printed about 8 of these at this point and so far they have been working well. They are a little fiddly to get set up and there is some tweaking that has to be done to get the lights to "balance" but it was tradeoff I was willing to make.

I designed and printed this on a K1 Max (the Grow Light Holder takes up nearly the entire bed space), in ASA-GF filament. The filament I used was mostly overkill but I had some sitting around for another project that definently required it so I figured I would use it for this. You could probably get away with using PLA, though I would want to bump up the wall count on the Holder to make it as stiff as possible so it would not sag over time.

The Grow Light Holder is sized so that 2 sets of 4 lights fit next to each other on some shelves from Home Depot, specifically there HDX 5-Tier Steel Wire Shelving Unit.

The pieces and parts I used to put this together as pictured:

1. Home Depot Shelves
2. Paracord
3. M3x6mmx5mm Knurled Threaded Insert
4. M3 Screws Assortment Kit - Mostly used the shorted ones and the longest ones
5. Ultralight Tent/Tarp Tensioners
6. Barrina T5 Grow Lights - I used 2 of the Yellow and 2 of the Pink for each holder
