LED light rail #3DThursday #3DPrinting

OptimusCrime shares:

LED Rail that compression holds the silicone adafruit led strip. the led strips are about 6mmx10mm, and it clips into the back of the extruded 20mm gantry rail.

using adafruit neon like silicone led strips, or generic ones, and buck step down board to convert down to 12v.

I printed it at solid infill, .8 nozzle, .2 layer height and the clips are just loose enough that the light aims toward the print area which is nice.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
