GE Color Effects Mounting Brackets - G-28 & G-35

thingiverse

My wife required new mounting brackets for our Christmas lights this year, so I created models of a couple to try out. There are two versions: one based on the original mounting bracket that came with the light and another with slightly stronger clips. If you position the original mounting bracket flat on your print bed, then the clips will be more prone to breaking off. You can attempt printing them on edge to see if they're more durable, but I chose to simply strengthen them instead. Hence the "Beefy" version. According to GE, the mounting bracket is suitable for G-28 and G-35 Color Effect LED Light strings. UPDATE (2018-11-27): It worked out! I knew it would. So, I used Beefy V2.stl, and I didn't have to make any adjustments to them to get them working. (See Photos) I will leave the original, but recommend the beefy one for FDM printing. I'm still curious if the original works on an SLA printer. Let me know if you try it out! UPDATE (2018-11-20): I added a second "Beefy" (Beefy - v2.stl) mount that has more clearance under the clips, and a slightly larger center hole. For me the hole was too small for the screws I use. And the overhangs on the clips are a little messy because of the supports, so increasing the gap was easier than filing all of them down. I've also included the STEP file in case you want to make it your own.
