Flashlight Shoulder Mount (Emisar D4v2)
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
This is a flashlight mount for various types of shoulder straps to allow for handsfree use. It has been specifically designed to house an Emisar D4 and Emisar D4v2 flashlight (sans pocket clip) but can accommodate any flashlight with a cylindrical portion 25 mm or smaller in diameter and 51 mm or larger in length. The mount works best with shoulder straps approximately 46 mm wide and 2 mm thick, though there is a bunch of wiggle room. When used with an Emisar D4, this mount allows for full access to the switch and battery compartment without having to remove the flashlight from the mount. There is also minimal to no contact with the head of the flashlight to allow for maximum airflow.
You will need the following hardware for this build:
6 binding barrels and screws for ¼” thick material
6 neoprene washers for ¼” screw size
Miscellaneous strips of craft foam, rubber sheet, or other similar thin grippy material
I personally used this hardware, though alternatives can be found at your local hardware store:

Instructions
All the pieces can print without supports. You may need to print the bottom and top plate with a skirt for better bed adhesion. I only have PLA material so I printed at 100% infill and annealed the pieces in boiling water so the mount can withstand outdoor use. I’ve found setting the 3D printed pieces in room temperature water in a pot before…
