LED Clips - Prusa i3 (3DP-11-ATL) and others

thingiverse

After countless attempts and several refinements, I was finally able to get these little gadgets working perfectly. The clip attaches firmly to the (20mm) frame of the Prusa i3 (3DP-11-ATL), while the opposite side securely holds a 10mm LED strip in place! Once secured, the angle of the LEDs is precisely set at 23.5 degrees, which proved to be just right for almost every print I threw at it. To install, first clip it to the inside of the printer frame (facing the bed), on all three sides, hold up your LED strip to test for length, and cut to size. Then, starting at one end, place the LED strip into one side of the clip, followed by the other side. It's a snug fit, so you might need to apply some force, a fingernail, or plastic pry tool might help (but be careful not to damage the strip). Work your way around, one by one, until finished. Edit: The "LED Clip Final stl" is designed for mounting the LED strip on the outside of the frame. The "LED Clip Inner Final stl" is intended for mounting the LED strip on the inside of the frame, which is useful in areas like where the control board and power supply mount to the frame (on the 3DP-11-ATL), and the outside clip wouldn't work. These inner clips are designed to be a tight fit, twisting into place when installed. When installing them, take note of the 45-degree angle on the shaft, as the clip will only turn in one direction - not the other. If you print it out and give it a try, you'll see what I'm talking about. Enjoy! Print Settings: Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Clone Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Infill: 20%
