Turntable LED strip holder rail

thingiverse

This 3d model was designed to hold an LED strip and a strip of paper precisely underneath my custom acrylic platter. I'm uncertain how well this will work on other turntables and platters, but for the pro-ject DC turntable with its acrylic platter, this model should fit perfectly. The 3d model is somewhat rough because I never intended to publish it, but several people requested that I upload it, so I've included the inventor ipt file as well for anyone who wants to modify or refine it. After printing this rail, it should be placed underneath the platter as seen in the photos. The LED strip should fit easily into the groove and should be cut to size accordingly. For the paper strip light diffuser, just experiment with different strip widths and secure the strip in the groove ahead of the LED strip. It takes a bit more patience to place the paper strip in this groove, however it can be done; you might want to use tape or glue to further secure it.
