3528 LED Strip Holder for 20/20 Frame

thingiverse

I was looking for reliable lighting on my Delta 3D printer. I prefer using LED strips over diodes because they offer much better illumination, so I designed a simple slide-in case for a small 3528 LED strip. The LED strips consist of only two sections (six LEDs each) with two wires soldered to the bottom end of the strip, which is concealed beneath a tiny cover at the end. A hole in the bottom end is angled to facilitate easy wire feeding through it. You can secure them to the frame using small cable ties or high-quality double-sided carpet tape. If three strips are too bright for you (for instance, if you're filming your print), you have two options: disconnect one or more strips or install a potentiometer on the power line to adjust the brightness accordingly. No specific print settings are required; default printer settings should work just fine. Another version of this case is in development to accommodate 50/50 LED strips, and it will be available soon.
