LED Strip Light Mountable Wall Panel 1 Foot Segment

prusaprinters

Designed for ~8mm strip LEDs, #6 wood screws. each segment is 1 foot so take your total length in feet and divide by 5, that's how many segments you needI printed with 0 top and bottom layers and around 45% gyroid infill to make it save plastic and be able to cool the LEDs more, but that may not be necessary. I learned by damaging the green lead on one of my LEDs and taking out the green for an entire 2 segments.First, align and tape all the segments together on the back and attach the LED strip to it. Take into consideration how the plug will be oriented on the panel and wall and where your led driver will be.If you are using this high up on a wall near a ceiling (and you don't have people to help you out). You want to reinforce the joints with cardboard and tape, especially the ones with LEDs or other components on or near the seam. You want to use cheap masking or painter's tape to tape it up vertically like a snake climbing up the wall. Then, you want to overlap the tape with more tape to make sure its secure for the next step.put the roll of masking tape around your wrist or in your mouth or something and then grab the strip from the other side and reach out as far as you can down the strip and grab as far out as you can, then pivot and position the strip into place, keeping it taut but not so much that it pulls it off the wall. Then, with the finesse of a navy seal or some shit, hold the strip on the end and the middle to the wall and put as much tape as necessary to keep it up as long as you need for the next step.reposition the strip so it is very close to where you want it to be starting from the first end and working down. then back at the first end start screwing it in. They are designed for #6 wood screws. I only needed one per segment after using two to secure the first one. Use a level to make sure its nice a level and flatten it out as you work your way to the other end. Carefully remove the tape and cardboard reinforcement as you go.
