3D printed holder for fibre optic trigger on a YS-120?


Recommended Posts

I found a Sea&Sea YS-120 strobe and it works well by placing a fibre optic cable into the corresponding hole of the diffuser. I would like to use the strobe also without the diffuser - has anyone in this community designed a ring-like holder or whatever device that allows to hold a cable in front of the slave sensor on that strobe? I would very much appreciate obtaining (or posting in response) the corresponding file.

Sorry, the strobe is stored in a room where we are currently hosting visitors- will take a few more day yet until I can take a picture. I imagine this to be a sort of slip-on ring, like the wide end of a snoot, that has a small inner ring on the side where you can place the fiber optic cable.
But I am really only asking if someone already HAS a design for such a thing. For a custom development I think I could ask some friends… and do some testing … Hence a tried-and-true design would be preferred.

All right, here are the pics. 

You can see the slave sensor in front view, then the diffuser with the corresponding hole. I restricted it just a bit with a piece of silicon hose - holds the fibre optic plug just fine. 

But for using it without the diffuser, I would need to slave it off another strobe, I think that can be a bit dicey. Hence some kind of a holder would be great. 

I included 2 images with a centimeter scale, this is only for a rough idea in the dimensions. 

As said before, an existing design would be great. 

Cheers, 

Klaus
