Summary
Here is a simple design to allow easy attachment of the LED Strip v1.1 to the MakerBot.
I have uploaded two STL files of the design. One at the full length of the LED strip and the other at half the length. Either design will work. Also included is the SolidWorks part file.
One idea for customization of the design would be to add extruded text on the front and have it function as a nameplate for your MakerBot.
Instructions
Fabricate with a 3D printer. With the MakerBot at 0.36mm layer height and a feedrate of 26.0mm/s, the build time (for the full length strip) is approximately 1hr 12mins.
With fabrication complete, slide the LED strip between the clip guide.
Note: Ensure the soldered terminals on the strip are snipped as close to the pcb as possible to allow easy insertion. If you encounter difficulty, lightly sand the edges of the strip.Once inserted, simply force fit the strip onto the front panel of MakerBot, in the center just below the Z stepper motot for optimum lighting. Don't worry, it will not affect Z-stage operation
