I created a curved LED bar for my helping hands to aid in the SMD component placement and PCB inspection.

It runs 4 strips of 9 white leds in parallel providing blinding light.

I used knurled inserts to prevent the stripping of PETG and failure from repeated use. If this were to be remixed I would have inserted the knurled insert from the opposite side I have them on the LED mount. Currently they are able to be pulled out if not set properly.

The throat for the led mount is 9mm and can be detached so that it can be placed around a component with minimal deconstruction of the helping hands.

It uses M3 hardware.
