How to Make a Flash Diffuser (Cheap and Easy)

3 Comments

This flash diffuser is excellent for macro photography and very good for portraits as well. I have templates for small-sized flashes and full-sized flashes that you can download from the following links. The small template can print on a single letter-sized piece of paper. The large template prints on two pieces of paper but fits perfectly on a single sheet of 9″x12″ craft foam.

How to Make a Magnetic Work Light from a Cheap IKEA Lamp Using 3D Printing and Fusion 360

Leave a comment

This is how I took an inexpensive IKEA JANSJÖ lamp and replaced the heavy base with a magnet so I could use it as a work light on my shop tools. This video also contains a very basic Autodesk Fusion 360 tutorial where I show how I modeled an adapter that I printed on my 3D printer.
