LED Light for 20x20 Extrusion

This is an enclosure for mounting LED lights on aluminum t-slotted extrusion, with the intended application being to illuminate the build platform of a 3D printer. Mine is a TAZ 6, but it should work well with any that has a framework constructed out of aluminum extrusion (either 20x20 or 10 series).

You will need LED lights, a switch, a voltage adjuster and a DC power connector. This is what I used:

So you can get a decent light for about $16 in parts and plastic.

It's a tight fit and the blades on the switch will have to be bent. There is also a little bit of soldering involved. Use double sided tape to secure the lights inside their recesses. Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions.
