Simple little enclosure and dual strip light bar for 8mm strip LEDs.
The box has a [mini PWM motor controller](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091SHPR6L/) and [SPDT switch](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LBNWD52/) to control dimming and select which LED strip is enabled. Power is provided via a [5521 jack](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8VV78D/). No glues or screws are needed for assembly, only some VHB tape to mount the bar in it's final position. Because of the shape of the bar, you don't need adhesive strips for this to work. They slot in and are retained, so they can't fall off or sag. I printed in PLA+ using two walls and 10% gyroid infill; the rods at 0.28mm height and the box at 0.2mm height.
Each bar is 8" (203mm) long, so figure out how many you need. In my use I made a 2' (0.6m) long bar that was made from the box, lid, two extensions, and a female end.
There is 0 tolerance in these parts, which for my printer is fine. I printed the bars upright, only
