LED Strip Light Brackets

Some time ago I designed an indicator light system for our parts department. It blinks to alert them when a parts request prints on either of two printers in their area. The lights were single color LED strips just tacked up on a wall. It worked great, but looked pretty sad.


Recently I came across a clear 56mm acrylic tube and thought i could use it to spiff up the look of the lights. "mingthemad" uploaded a customizable pipe mount that I used to make a 56mm mount. Then I brought it into 123D and modified it to work vertically, and smoothed out the embellishments on the sides. There are hanger holes in the mounts so you can hang it vertically on screws, and the mounts have holes on the sides that you could put screws through to secure the tube to the mounts.

Recognizing that someone else might not have a 56mm tube just laying around, I modeled a simple tube that fits the mounts. You can use your slicers' Z scaling to make it longer or shorter as needed. As far as that goes, y
