3D model description

#Just Another Holder for 281x-Strips....

Yes! But there is a reason. Currently im working on a bigger project: Electrical Firework, i call it EFire. This should be a very simple to copy/rebuild platform to design a nice firework based on WS281x-LED stripes or chains. You can simple scale it from small desktop-variant (144LED/m) to a several meter big WS2811-chain firework most things will not change.

For a small appeizer, look my proof of concept video on youtube:

For better mechanical stability, i designed this holder matching for the strips.

Functionality is seen here:

For the EFire you will need 20 of this holders. So please tweak your 3D-Printer and your filament to do it´s best. Espectialy Fan-settings are very important to get a clean print.
As good your printer/filament is setup, as less you have post-working to clean it up.

A additional Tool "Entgrater" may help you to clean up. I printed it with 0.12mm thickness and PLA (because it´s hardenes). The advantage of this tool is, that it liftsoff spare material, not scraping or damaging guidance.
Be careful!!! This tool want´s to eat your fingers!!!

So keep in mind: This THING has no sense - at the moment. It will be part of a bigger one, currently is developed.

If you can understand german, feel free to visit my homepage, where the progress of EFire is documented in all steps: Link
