Holder for LED bar. 2020 and 2040 profile

thingiverse

This is my very first personal design in Fusion 360. After more than two decades with Solidworks and numerous other different CAD programs, I've decided to try Fusion 360 for my private hobby designs using a newly purchased CR-10 as my primary tool. This design is made to hold an LED bar/strip bought in Sweden at a popular chain store called "Biltema", available throughout Scandinavia. For those of you not living in these countries and have a strong desire for this design, the chances of finding the same LED bar/strip worldwide (but possibly in other lengths), are much higher, just search on the internet. The 300mm tube was printed upright in vase mode with the bottom layers removed/inhibited in Cura 2.7. The support got printed flat on its side with a 27% infill to get a part in PLA flexible enough. I've tested these parts in PET-G as well and it's actually a better choice if you're comfortable with that material. The flexibility of a PET-G part feels much more comfortable when you snap the support into place, but PLA works, just requires a bit more force when mounting it to the profile. The design, when used on my CR-10, is intended for use in a hanging position at the top bar, as well as in a standing position on the side of the X/Y-table. Suitable for both 2020 and 2040 profiles. The 90-degree snap design on the support part was inspired by a similar design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1000002/#files) made by the Thingiverse profile called "dintid". I'm finalizing this design with some additional tweaks. I've enlarged the Hex-pattern to reduce print time and personally think they look better. As an added bonus, the connectors of the original LED-strip can fit through the hex holes, making it possible to use the pattern as a cable guide. Talking of cable guides, one is implemented in the lower position, making it easier to route the cable nicely along the aluminum profile.
