ender 3 pi camera and led strip mount with ribbon cable attachment

thingiverse

I made another remix on this one, this time I wanted to be able to add LED strips. I had printed another LED strip holder which was mounted on the X gantry but it just blinded the camera and washed the picture out, so I wanted to make a light source coming from the same direction as the camera, I also had a bit of an issue (could be with calibration) where the front was dropping off the camera holder so I added another point on top for an M3x6 screw to hold that on. The top and bottom LED holders attach with some M3x10 screws. I made 2 versions of each, the shorter ones are for standard white LED's which I think can be cut to 50mm lengths, I made the longer ones because I only had RGBW ones which you can cut at 100mm and thought I'd use them so I soldered all of the RGBW connections to the negative and + to the positive. I also wired them in parallel because I'd used a buck converter to drop the voltage from 24 to 12. I suppose you could wire the top and bottom in series and attach to the 24 volt supply, I didn't want to do that. I also had to adjust the position of the ribbon cable attachment because it was interfering with the bottom LED strip holder so there's a new one of those with this. I printed all parts at 100% infill for strength, I tested 20% and snapped the connectors off when removing the support pieces.
