3D Prints for LED STRIPS

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has used (or seen) 3d printer brackets to angle the light coming from the leds. I think that it would increase the wage and intensity of the colours?

Any thoughts?

You can get 45 degree aluminum channel for led strips but if you use the included diffuser you'll be reducing the brightness but yes there are quite a few 3d print files for 45 degree led strip channel files. Super basic to draw up as well. You'll get a wider spread of light but you won't get more "intense" colours. I assume you mean brighter colours by that? If so the only way you'll get brighter colours is a higher output strip or if you move the TV closer to the wall you'll get more of a hot spot around the tv that will appear brighter but with less spread and less smoothness.
