Stocking LED Flex Rope Light Decoration

Originally inspired by bigclivedotcom's neon shapes video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9bSzE9ir1Q Helpfully created using ksjh's LEDneon OpenSCAD script - https://github.com/ksjh/LEDneon Designed to fit a standard Ender 3 / Mk3S print bed (up to 200x200). I recommend printing these with a 0.8 nozzle for speed and strength. Able to be printed in PLA, LED's do get lukewarm to touch but no where near hot enough to melt PLA. The uploaded model was created using a slot width of 6mm, a height of 11mm and a floor height of 1.2 (3 layers of 0.4mm layer height / 6 layers of 0.2mm layer height). This version has a wall width of 1.2 (double perimeter of a 0.6 nozzle, triple perimeter of a 0.4 nozzle) DO NOT RESIZE IN SLICER - it will throw the dimensions out. You will need to change the size of the SVG (I recommend Inkscape) and then recreate the STL using SCAD. To change these settings you will need to use ksjh's code (download the whole zip, change your dimensions in neon-dimension.scad and then run line-tracing-svg.scad with the uploaded Stocking.svg)I then manually added a hole for the cables by importing into TinkerCAD.  I purchased the LED Rope light on Ebay and hand soldered connectors. You will need a 12V DC 1A power adapter. If you're in the UK I recommend 3DQF FilamentFor this model I mixed white and red but the white filament is considerably brighter than the red, but your mileage may vary. Please also see my Snowflake and Christmas Tree and Present/Gift and Gingerbread Man and Candy Cane and Reindeer
