Here is the rewritten text with improved readability: This modification allows for better lighting while the OCTOPI is on, and it's incredibly simple to set up. I completed it in just two hours. The base of the clip opening matches the width of the frame exactly, but tapers down to a smaller size as you get closer to the tips. Updated: 3/16/17 I noticed a slight give from the adhesive on the strips, so I added new clips to keep them in place. Now it's a snug fit! https://youtu.be/WmGBaHgJat4 Print Settings: Printer Brand: Wanhao Printer Model: Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Notes: If you print this with a raft, it will warp - at least it did on my printer. Print Details: XT (extruder temperature): 245°C BD (bed temperature): 70°C Material: PETG Fan Speed: 100% Overview and Background The project requires the following components: 3528smd LEDs with a 5V power supply USB Cable Soldering Iron Solder For each strip, I used approximately 13 LEDs per side (three in total) and cut them right in the middle of the copper pads. I removed the resin covering the pads and soldered wires about three to four inches long. Next, I removed the 3M sticky cover and placed the strips onto the printed clips. Finally, clip them on and enjoy! Lesson Plan and Activity You'll need a basic understanding of soldering, but don't worry if you're new - it's easy to learn. Check out this tutorial for a basic guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLfXXRfRIzY Materials Needed: I used PETG and a prewired 5V LED strip from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015R87GQK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
