Some quick and simple clips for attaching an aluminum LED light strip channel to the Ender-3, or I guess anything that uses V-slot extrusions... lol The aluminum channel is from Banggood and is meant to house stick on LED tape strips. I wired two 12V strips in series to run directly off the 24V power supply. Works well, and it's a clean install! The printed clips just slide onto the channel, then it snaps into the frame nice and secure. I was concerned it may be in the way of the X axis assembly when printing tall objects but it seems fine, the one picture is with the nozzle raised to 250mm, max.

This is the aluminum channel I used, you'll need to trim it to length. I had enough channel left to use on my EMT8 as well. http://bit.ly/2S5VyPZ

Look here for wiring 12V strips to run on 24V. https://www.waveformlighting.com/pcb-designs/using-a-12v-led-strip-in-a-24v-system

I sliced these in S3D, printed with PETG using 0.4 extrusion width, 3 walls, and single extrusion infill for gaps. PLA should be fine as well, unless it's too brittle to snap in. I didn't try it. ;)
