LED light strip bar for 1515 extrusions

Yet another LED strip light holder, but this one is for use with 1515 extrusions commonly found in small form 3D printers such as the Printers For Ants Salad Fork or Micron, and Voron V0.

While building my Salad Fork printer, all of the LED strip light holders I found at that time were a bit oversized.  I wanted something that would sit flush with the top and bottom of the 1515 extrusions when mounted.  So here's this simple, no frills light strip holder for twelve LEDs held at a 45-degree angle.  I forgot to post this a few months ago and was recently asked about it by someone looking for the same thing, so here it is.

Designed for being printed with a 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle.  Print in the orientation shown in the slicer view (largest side with the screw holes on the bed).  Supports are not required.  Use two M3 BHCS (flatter/shorter than SHCS so more room for your wires) or SHCS (maybe not in the way of your wires) of the appropriately short length for each holder.  Easiest to insert the LED strips and then mount these.  Hopefully you remembered to insert two M3 nuts on each side while assembling the frame…

For the Salad Fork, during your build preload two m3 nuts on the inside of both of the top extrusions.  For the Micron, there is not enough space along the inside of the extrusions, so preload the m3 nuts along the bottom of the top two extrusions instead.

Recommended to use ABS or ASA but you may be able to use PETG.  My chamber easily reaches 55C while printing ABS and ASA so PETG should be fine, but PLA is unsuitable for this.
