Background & Inspiration

This is a remixed LED Strip Support Rail for the highly popular Elegoo Centauri Carbon Vented Riser v2 by JesusFreak, originally adapted by cbp3d.

The original riser features great integrated lighting hooks, but the heat from the printer often causes the adhesive backing on LED strips to fail and sag over time. cbp3d created a brilliant clip-in support rail to hold the strips without needing glue or a complete riser reprint. However, community feedback noted that the original rail lacked rigidity, and the channel was too loose for modern, low-profile COB LED strips (as it was originally designed for thicker SMD/silicone-coated strips).

Specific Changes Made in This Remix

Since I use COB LED strips for a seamless lighting look, I remixed cbp3d's design to solve both of those issues:

• Increased Rigidity: I added extra thickness to the horizontal rails to make the support much stiffer. It will no longer sag or flex out of place.
• Tailored for COB LEDs: I reduced the internal space/clearance of the rail. This provides a snug, perfect fit specifically for thinner COB LED strips, preventing them from shifting or rattling.

Material

PETG, ABS, or ASA is highly recommended over PLA, as this part sits at the top of an enclosed printer where heat gathers.

Assembly Instructions 

Simply slide your COB LED strip into the rail channel. Once seated, push the rail up into the built-in tabs/hooks of JesusFreak's Vented Riser v2. The small ridges on the ends of the rail will snap into place around the hooks, holding the entire assembly under slight tension.
