DIRECTIONS
After your prints are complete glue the ends together in their respective positions. (Note: the 11mm channel is right side up for the Neon)
After you glue each part, use your soldering iron and dab the seam. This will fuse the two parts together. Lightly melt the front seam and the back seams for a stronger frame.
Choose your first color for your lighting scheme. (SEE Note Lamomo neon, in material list.) Cut the black line on the silicone led neon rope that best fits each channel leaving enough room for wiring.
Double check fit for each piece before cutting. Note where all your cut pieces will go for installation. After you prep cut all your lighting. cut x135 4'' inch 22 AWG wires. strip each end 1/8'' inch. Then dip each end in wiring flux and use soldering iron to tin each wire end.
Follow the directions that come with your new led neon rope lights for soldering each wire to their respective positive + / negative - terminal on the exposed led strip. BE CAREFUL not to let the positive and negative terminals get soldered together. (Note a short circuit and risk of damage, fire or personal injury can occur.) Be mindful and use caution.
Use the silicone glue sparingly to fold the cut silicon on the neon rope back to position and tidy up the ends for installation. (Note: the led neon rope is not current directional sensitive.) there will be approximately x166 solder points to finish this project. Use the holes provided in the frame model to push each set of wires thru as you insert each precut and prewired light section.
After you install all lights. turn the frame over with the back upward wires facing you. Separate all wires and test each section to make sure all are working! you are now ready to install the Sim & Nat DC female adapter into the hole provided in the butt of the stock frame. Pull roughly 2'' inches into the hole provided and lay in the 8mm back wire channel. Now you can mate each connection. Decide the direction for each connection you can see in my pics there are two places on the lower frame near the optic frame that you will connect x2 lights together for splitting the direction purposes. (SEE pics) (Note: don't forget to add your shrink tubing before you solder your wires together.) Now cut x60 1'' inch pieces of shrink tubing.
DOUBLE CHECK AND TEST YOUR CONNECTIONS!! Make sure all light sections are working!! Now you can lay all wiring in the channels you will need to bend in suitable directions. start at one end and use hot glue to hold your wires in place as you lay them in the channeling.
You can now use your normal super glue and close the back with the covers. Stl's named with (cover.) plug in the switch you have chosen from the list and plug in the 12vDC adapter. Enjoy!
Hang it how you want.
I will be adding custom fit hanging adapters with optional angles soon!
Please take pics and share your color scheme with me. If you have any questions or need any help, I will do my very best within reason.
Thank you all, this is a big first and huge milestone for me!
Your support and understanding are also greatly appreciated!
NOW GO AND SHOW YOUR GLOW!
