The top brackets with LED light bar support on @AlexeykH_1340339's awesome Ender 3 v3 se ke gantry support left the end brackets 40mm too far apart for the (shorter than Ender 3 v1) light bar that I bought for my Ender 3 V3 SE on aliexpress… so I manually traced the extrusion and stretched it to 40mm long (you could stretch this model in the Z direction as much as you need), and also made a negative ‘plug’ to use as a joiner. 

Whilst it might not be a 100% accurate rendition of the original, it fits nicely. I drew everything in multiples of 0.4mm so it prints quickly and doesn't need infill with 0.4 line width/nozzle diameter.

It's a bit rough, but it did the job and saved me waiting 2-3 weeks for a longer piece of extrusion from China!

I printed with PLA, and a small brim to ensure it didn't fall over. No supports, no brainer, no nothing! 😂

Model origin

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This is my original part, not a remix per se. Just a small, simple add-on that made my short LED light bar fit properly with Alexey H's gantry support installed.
