Led Strip wall mount

thingiverse

My friend came up to me yesterday and asked if he could get a device to hold his LED strip to the wall without having to worry about the adhesive on the back peeling off the paint, so we needed something that wouldn't damage the walls. Since our dorm rooms only allow 10 holes, using a push pin seemed like the best option. I created a mock-up on a large sheet of graph paper and later he had the STL file ready to print in the morning. How I Designed This Inventor I started by making a mock-up in Inventor, keeping it as simple as possible with minimal non-parametric dimensions. Step 1 was designing the rail that would hold the LED strip, just a basic rectangle with a slot and rectangle cut out of it. Step 2 involved adding the push pin holder, and lastly, I indented the push pin holder to sit flush in its place. Open Scad Once I identified the few non-parametric dimensions, I made the device in OpenSCAD.
