A simple guide to hold the wires and an LED strip for perfect 90° bends while soldering. I designed it for WS2812B, but it might also work with other 3-wire strips. You can also use this for soldering wires to LED strips without the bend. There's also a lid you can out on top that is not in the pictures. After using it on around 30 solder jobs, the plastic hasn't melted at all. I recommend printing in PETG for better heat resistance, but if you're decent with a soldering iron, PLA should be fine. I've uploaded two versions: short and long. The short one gives a tighter bend and a cleaner look, while the long one puts less strain on the wires. Happy printing!
