Vinyl soffit j channel attachment v2

prusaprinters

<p>A 2 piece clip system when placed together create a non-permanent way to hang year around pixel lights, mounted in J-channel, to the eaves (soffit actually I guess) of your house. The attachment created when the two pieces are slide together snaps into the groove of your vinyl soffit.</p> <p>I wanted something that could be printed fast and without support that performed 3 functions:</p> <ol> <li>Would hold the J-channel with pixel lights to the soffits of the house</li> <li>Would support the loaded J-channel from sagging under the weight of the system</li> <li>Could be attached to the J-channel on the ground and not fall off when on the ladder installing the light system.</li> </ol> <p>Inspiration came from FishingSETX's "Amazon Blink Camera Mount for Vinyl Siding" (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4163845">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4163845</a>). However the attachment was not the correct shape for my soffit.</p> <p>Versions:</p> <p>V2:</p> <ul> <li>Used for my permanent year around light system</li> <li>Tinker CAD models included</li> </ul> <p>NOTE: Version 3 can be found at (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5170822">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5170822</a>)</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>25-50%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Inland, Hatchbox PLA White, Blue</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Rotate the parts so the flat face is on the bed of the printer.</p> I printed these in whatever filament color I had and painted them with Rust-Oluem Camouflage Khaki spray paint.
