LED strip holder with optional cable holder

Printing: Small Layer Height Print with the small side down, no support needed Use large brim (I used 30 lines) If you print more than one of these at once, consider turning Z-Hop on, because sometimes the nozzle rips them off while traveling to the next one. Description: This is a holder for an ip20 led-strip. Those holders are supposed to be hotglued to a straight surface, as I am unable to use screws and I do not want to use the adhesive tape on the back of the strip because they always fall off after a couple of weeks, no matter how good the surface is. The led strip fits very snugly just where the solder joints are on the strip. This means that the waterproof version will not fit. It is slightly thicker due to having some rubber over it. The holder was designed to be as snug as possible so that the strip stays roughly in the same distance away from the surface it's being mounted on. The led-strip I used for this is the following one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/24V-5M-10M-5050-LED-RGB-Strip-Streifen-60-LEDs-m-Band-Leiste-Controller-Netzteil/253621750708 The quality of it is really decent for the price. There are two versions included in this. One has two separate holders, and the upper one is designed to hold a cable in case you need to run one besides the strip. This can be useful if you want to have a strip that's 10m long while having the controller on one end, as with 60led/m, you mostly can't have more than 5m/strip. In order to solve this, you would have to run one cable from the controller parallel to the first strip, that connects to the second strip once the first ends. I used a cable like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000050856520.html Update February 14, 2020: I added a file named miniLed. It's a smaller version, angled a little bit so it holds the strip very tight. It does not stick extremely well due to the small space you can apply glue to. Therefore, you cannot put too much weight on it. I use it to hold ends of the strip tight as seen in the pic and hold the strip in places where there is not a lot of space.
