What’s better than Adafruit’s individually addressable smart RGB LEDs – an articulating mount to house them! This assembly is designed to hold the 12 LED RGB(W) NeoPixel Ring (e.g. Product ID:2853; https://www.adafruit.com/product/2853). The dimensions of the ring are: 3.68mm (O.D.) x 23.3mm (I.D.) x 325mm and the board fits in snuggly.
The components have holes for 3mm screws and will need to be threaded with the appropriate sized tap. The ball joint can accommodate a 30 mm screw with a nyloc nut instead of individual screws.
I have added a diffuser that snaps on top of the LED mount. It is preferable to print the part in a translucent clear material, e.g. PETG with supports enabled.
The NeoPixel mounts were designed to fit into a miniature photo studio
--- See https://github.com/electronlove/MiniStudio for info and https://youtu.be/95q27Tv82Dc ---
The mini studio has not been uploaded to Thingiverse yet but any sturdy box will do !
The NeoPixels are controlled by a Raspberry Pi - and a flask-based web server for a RGB color picker to control the NeoPixels.
See https://github.com/uozuAho/pilights for flask app to control LEDS.
Code has been modified to run with Adafruit Neopixel Rings and run as systemd process at startup. See https://github.com/electronlove/MiniStudio and web folder for additional information!

Notes:
Only the NeoPixel LED holder requires supports and should be oriented with the LED groove up. The ball joint should be re-oriented with the flat face down.
Note: I printed the NeoPixel LED holder in ABS which required scaling in Cura to 104% (ABS shrinks!).I am driving the NeoPixels with a Raspberry Pi so I through together a Perma-Proto HAT with a 74AHCT125 Quad level shifter. I also added breakouts for I2C, SPI, and serial communication for some light sensors.
Post-Printing
Preparing the Mounting Holes
The screw holes are 3 mm and should be tapped with the appropriate size for best results. There should be some play in the joint to allow for positioning.
