Printing rgb light strip clips

I’m working on a project with APA102 LEDs in my yard. Did you design those clips to fit into something or are they more to hold the LEDs steady?

First what? Then had a ABS (not Filament no pun) workout burst recognizing the cloth pin.

@Nathan_Bohman i’m mainly using the pre-attached adhesive on the lights to hold steady on my wall, these clips do most of the load-bearing work

@Werner_Hiemer I just thought of this so i could use my printer until i get to a home depot tomorrow. I’m incredibly impatient. on the up side, the charring wood makes it smell nice in my room. :slight_smile:

@Vincent_Forsyth Would (next pun) ring the alarm in my department. Today shopping for second IKEA lack table.

What a coincidence! I’ve been batch printing a bunch of clips for an LED strip project as well. My clips are to hold sections of strips to aluminum J-channel. Tried to mount LEDS last year by siliconing the entire strip to the J-channel, but then had faulty LEDS (eBay quality) which required bringing entire sections down, cutting the silicone free, cutting, soldering, sealing, re-siliconing, re-mounting, and then repeat for the next bad LED. Have now made replaceable 10-LED sections and everything held on with the clips. Switching out faulty LEDS should be much easier – leave the J-channel mounted, unclip a 10-LED piece, pop in a replacement piece, repair the faulty one at my leisure. Plan on posting details if and when the system works.

you can use sequential printing for better results maybe
