5mm LED holder for pipe

youmagine

A three-legged spider bracket designed to securely hold a 5mm LED within a 2-inch ID pipe. The bracket's primary function is to maintain the LED precisely at its center point, ensuring optimal performance and stability. I opted for using two-inch plastic conduit made from Schedule 40 PVC pipe, readily available in ten-foot lengths at Home Depot stores. This parametric OpenSCAD file grants users the flexibility to customize their design by selecting various ID, OD, and thickness settings, accommodating pipes of different diameters or other center items. Upon printing with MakerWare 2.4.1.24 on a Replicator Dual using standard profile settings, each arm of the three-legged bracket appears as a solid entity, albeit with a thin center gap that may be visible in attached photos. Despite this minor anomaly, the overall design functions as intended and meets its purpose effectively.
