Flexible Cree LED mount - for Anet A8 or other usecases

thingiverse

The flexible tubing was upgraded and lengthened using a Cree LED case and endpiece for my Anet A8. It can also be used for other purposes, with the clamping designed to accommodate thin walls, allowing you to easily adjust it to fit your needs with a side cutter or similar tool. The tubing can be secured to walls with a thickness of up to 9mm, but if you need more than that, you'll have to rescale. You also have the option to use a switch with a diameter of 4mm or similar. With these parts and scaling in your slicer, you can create LED mounts with the length or size you require. However, this is an experimental print process, so it's not a print-ready "thing." Consider starting with the "Case_creeLED_with_beginning.stl" without scaling if you want to use an LED like the one shown in the photo. Then, adjust and print the required parts with scaling. I scaled the middle piece three times in Cura for my composition, which you can see in the photo. The endpiece also needs to be scaled up, depending on the "arm" length and your printer's tolerances. After printing the case with the first tubing, I scaled the first middle piece to 105% (1.05). It's designed for a Cree LED like the one shown in the photo. In my case, the Cree is driven at 100mA, but if you want to use more, consider using ABS! Print Settings: Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 15
