Budget DIY Light Arch

thingiverse

Quick and dirty light arch for model painting and other artistic endeavours. You will need : 4M of LED light strip of your choice (I used this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B084KK2LW3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 2 x 2M 15mm Mini trunking. You actually only use the cover but I couldn't find that on it's own. (https://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-mini-trunking-16mm-x-16mm-x-2m/26052?_requestid=751593) You'll need to do some soldering and if you want to be able to pack it away you'll need an electrical connector of your choice. I used JST crimps because I had a load of them. Simply screw or stick the feet to your desk and slot in the trunking covers... simple! Total cost: £17.01. TBH I'd probably pay more for brighter LEDs but these do provide a lovely consistent flood of light over my workspace (excuse the mess). There is an error in the file at the top of the screw shaft that I couldn't get Sketchup to remove without messing up the whole model... it's prints ok with a little stray filament at that point the can be removed with a finger nail.
