Magnetic LED TrackBridge - 45 degree Tilt

prusaprinters

I needed a good way to mount LED strips on shelving racks that I keep my printers on. Because they were metal, I thought magnets would offer the most flexibility. I also wanted to be able to angle them at 45 degrees so that they projected more into the center of the shelving unit.This “bridge” track does a smooth twisting transition from 45 degrees to 90 degrees, over the hump and back to minimize bunching and bending on the track, while allowing it to mate up to the straight tracks units. This is meant as a way to cleanly span 2 sets of shelving units paired up, but may have other applications for your needs.These bridge uses (4) 6mm x 2mm magnets (amazon link to what I used below). The holes for the magnets are slightly larger that the magnet allowing for putting in a dab of glue (I used a hot glue gun) to hold them in.These would also be great for mounting LED strips on the back of a TV for counter lighting.Amazon link to Magnets (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3t0f1pfI will be adding a series of other tracks like straight pieces, corners and such to match this profile to make the set complete and versatile.https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/503-crussty/collections/122375
