My personal interpretation of a led bar for Ender 3 V2. I wanted something that was decently designed and didn't show too many wires in sight.
The cable passes inside one of the side arms to arrive directly in the central bar. The sectional view should show the path of the wire.
Both arms are provided with a hole for the passage of the wire which can then be wired to both sides of the printer, depending on where you intend to connect the power supply.
Pass the cable first through the arm, then through the central bar and solder it to the LED strip.
Then connect the single arm with the bar, attach it to the printer and then close the whole with the arm of the opposite side. In my opinion, everything is perfectly solid and I have not felt the need for additional screws or anchoring systems.
I inserted the cable that comes out from the rear into the slot of the aluminum extrusion, closing it all with covers that can be downloaded here:

Through the pin system that connects the central bar to the arms it is also possible to direct the light even if I personally find that the central position is more than good for illuminating the printing plate, as well as the best from an aesthetic point of view.
I connected everything to a DC-DC converter which in turn is connected to the printer power supply so as to turn on the light when the printer is turned on.
Regarding the print settings, I used my fast print settings, with a layer height of 0.32mm. Only supports those that fall on the build plate.
The support elements are printed in regular PLA (Overture Matte Black), while the diffuser is printed in transparent PETG (Overture). Regular clear PLA is also fine, I just had this on hand.
I used tolerances of 0.2 which allow me to mount everything in a fairly solid and stable way.
I've also included the step files, feel free to improve my work or adapt it to other needs!
