Description

PDF

Created a channel to conceal a strip of side emitting LEDs for a holiday Department 56 village decoration.  The channel slightly angles the strip up to illuminate the display and has a tab on the back to slide under something in the display to weigh it down.

The default size is fitted for the Adafruit NeoPixel LED Side Light Strip.  There is a parametric file so you can adjust the dimensions to fit your light strip.

The scad file would need to be updated to the measurements of your strip (measured midle of one contact pad to the next over one node), length is a multiple of the node width.  The design also includes a little extra space on each edge to also help conceal the wire contacts.

Printing Instructions:

  • print vertically
  • print with a brim
