Christmas Light Clip for Wire Frame designs

thingiverse

I display holiday lights on decorative wire frames during December, animated by a light controller that makes them appear to be moving like Santa throwing gifts and an elf decorating a stocking. These "clips" hold two different dimension "mini" light bulbs, I use incandescent but these will likely work with LED. One design is more rectangular in shape, the other round. You'll need to pick the one that most closely represents your light string. Both designs allow for a little larger on one end than the other and this allows them to fit a variety of bulbs. They clip tightly into 12.5 gauge galvanized metal wire which I use as a frame for these light sculptures, obtained at a local farm and ranch store. I use Renard SS24 controllers designed by and build kits provided through DIY Christmas website. Be warned, it can be addictive, expensive, and time-consuming but so cool. Good luck with decorating! Printer Settings: Anet A6 printer used to print these clips. No rafts or supports needed. Fine resolution and 50% infill are recommended. Notes: I prefer to print the x50 STLs with a narrow brim as the first layer is difficult to print without it. You need to clip each one separately but it's easy to do. Infill doesn't matter much in this design, there isn't much in the way of infill. You may want to print an individual one for sizing beforehand.
