Desk LED profile mount

thingiverse

I built this to install an aluminum profile with a LED strip at the back of my work surface. It fits 38mm thick countertops, which is probably the most common dimension for homemade custom desks. Its main goal is to create space for monitor arm clamps and cables so they don't interfere with or cover the LED strip. They will also safeguard the profile from being compressed between the desk and wall. I used thin double-sided tape to secure everything together (desk|holder|profile) as a precaution but it's not technically necessary. It won't fall off on its own if your work surface sits tightly against the wall.
