I'm building my Micron+ and instead of mounting the Rainbow on a Matchstick at a 90° angle I wanted it at a 45° angle with a cover over the top of lights to help focus the beam where I wanted it. 

Since I made this file for my own situation - I only had two pre-loaded nuts to use - so the middle of the sections is a clip that fits my LDO 1515 extrusions. 

Your experience may differ. For example you may have zero pre-loaded nuts, and might want to edit the file to have the clips on both ends of each mounting bracket.

Steps to Assemble

  1. Print the STL for as many light strips as you are wanting to mount.
  2. Insert M3x5x4 heat set insert into the holes. Make the tops flush with the print
  3. Mount the printed brackets into the frame with M3x8 BHCS. Go easy, you aren't holding a lot of weight, just pressure fitting it snug. Don't press too hard on overhang, press on back wall to snap into place. 
  4. Run wires to the DIN side of matchstick in a proper JST connection. If connecting to a second, run those wires from the DOUT before mounting
  5. Mount the led strips with M3x6 BHCS
  6. Plug into controller on RGB port, and add configuration

Materials Needed

  1. ABS/ASA filament if printing in heated chamber
  2. (4x) M3x8 BHCS
  3. (4x) M3x6 BHCS
  4. AWG 22 (or similar) wire
  5. JST 2.54 connectors

Example config: (Please adjust for your situation)
