The Round Led Rail (Skadis Version)

How does it works ? 

This design is made to stick a ledstrip on the rails, then you can print all the parts to make an orientable led bar, perfect for electronics and hobbying.
It uses the very good T-Clip system to connect to the Skadis board.
If your printer can handle 20cm Z height then this design will be printable. 

• White: Arms

• Red: Left and Right supports

• Green: External cover

• Blue: 15cm and 20cm Rails

• Grey: Joints

Which parts do I need to print ? 

There are two different ways to use the Round Led Bar 

Single Skadis Mode :

• 1x 20cm Rail

• 2x 15cm Rail

• 2x External Support

• 2x Joints

• 2x Arms 

• 2x T-Clip (or from the original design https://www.printables.com/model/540362-skadis-t-clip-mini-parametric

• 2x External Cover 

Multi Skadis Mode: 

The part list is very similar to the one for the single skadis, except for the middle piece when connecting multiple bars together, which is the Middle Support, with the middle cover. 
You can add as many rails as you want and orient them independently. Do not twist them too much as the wire connecting the led strips could be damaged. 

How long does it takes to print ? 

It took about 7 hours on my Prusa CoreOne with a 0.20mm Speed print profile to print a full Single Skadis unit. 

Does it needs supports ? 

I tried to reduce supports as much as i could, but you should use the supports "only from the build plate". 
Only the 15cm Rail, 20cm Rail and arm should need some supports. 

What about the tolerances ? 

• I did my best and tried different PLAs for this design. The goal is to be able to rotate the bar easily, but not much as we dont want is to fall back in position.

• The joints should be pretty hard to put in the rails, that is wanted for rigidity and you should not be able to take them off easily. 

• The T-clips will also be a bit hard to put in place, as it is needed to have a rigid group, as well as the T shaped connection between the arms and the supports. It can be adjusted but should offer some resistance.
