This is a modification to
dealextreme.com/p/dual-e27-sockets-lamp-bulb-holder-flash-umbrella-bracket-103135?item=6?r=78675737

due to an obvious design fault of the hot end.)
I'm trying to design things that serve a practical purpose.Mostly film making gear and parts for CNC machines.For my designs I try to also publish* the original file (usually Alibre/Geomagic)* technical drawings with dimensionsy...
