Download the 3D model from Printables! and print it yourself! Post a pic if you do!

Or you can get one from my website!

DT8 has a weird head shape, so it was challenging to make an end-attachment for the light. I chose to use white filament instead of clear because there were weird refraction effects due to the shape of the diffuser and the printed layers. I am quite happy with the white filament, so I may propagate that color into the rest of my diffusers!

Wow these diffusers look really nice.

Thanks! I have wanted to make this for a while since the DT8 is such a powerhouse for its size.

Looks like you done a really good job as usual👍 just finished spending the weekend printing out a heap of your battery cases on my brother-in-laws new 3D printer, we had really good success in the end! we thank you for that fun😃

Awesome! I'm glad that you had good success! Share some pictures if you get a chance 😀

We are getting there. Main body slightly bigger in all dimensions than they are supposed to be. This it what caused the lids to break on the 14500 cases. We will try a small change to fix it. We are leaning a lot and having fun😃

Edit: unfortunately picture's refused to upload even when I only tried one. Only been on lemmy one day and having a bit of trouble with buggyness, so whenever I manage to upload pictures I will.
