LED Light Bar Clips for Ender 3 (or any V-slot Extrusion)

thingiverse

Some speedy and straightforward clips for attaching an aluminum LED light strip channel to the Ender-3, or I suppose any printer that uses V-slot extrusions... haha The aluminum channel is from Banggood and is intended to house stick-on LED tape strips. I connected two 12V strips in series to run directly off the 24V power supply. It works great, and it's a clean installation! The printed clips just slide onto the channel, then they snap into the frame nice and secure. I was worried it might get in the way of the X axis assembly when printing tall objects but it seems fine, the one picture is with the nozzle raised to 250mm, max. This is the aluminum channel I used, you'll need to trim it to length. I had enough channel left over to use on my EMT8 as well. http://bit.ly/2S5VyPZ Check here for wiring 12V strips to run on 24V. https://www.waveformlighting.com/pcb-designs/using-a-12v-led-strip-in-a-24v-system I sliced these in S3D, printed with PETG using 0.4 extrusion width, 3 walls, and single extrusion infill for gaps. PLA should work fine too, unless it's too brittle to snap in. I didn't try it.
