Gantry arm for mounting IKEA Ledberg LED lights on 20x20 extrusion

thingiverse

I wanted a way to give general light to my Ender 3 while printing and, since I haven't got around to putting together an enclosure, decided I needed to mount some lights on the top of it. This model is about as large as I could make it. It just fits diagonally on the Ender 3 bed. as shown in one of the images (which is of an earlier prototype). In order to use the IKEA Ledberg lights, they need to be modified to have connecting leads rather than simply connecting together in a single strip as indicated [here](https://www.ikeahackers.net/2011/11/how-to-ledberg-lighting-wiring-hack.html) The next steps are to provide connecting arms to hold the 2 supports more rigidly and also to design a mount to use the 3rd light strip to illuminate the front of the hot end. ------- Update (2020-04-17): v8 has improved cable clips as the originals tended to break as they were too thin.
