LED Light Strip Diffuser

Introductory Yap

I made a configurable LED light strip diffuser in Onshape and wanted to post it here. I don’t have a Fusion 360 account, nor do I know how to use OpenSCAD so I can’t make the project configurable in Makerworld yet, but I will try too as soon as I can.

For now, the best solution I could fine was to make a Google Form to share the Onshape document. I know this is inconvenient so please let me know if there is a better solution.

Anyways for now to get the fully parametric document, please fill out the form with the Email associated with your Onshape account/make an Onshape account and I’ll share the document with you as soon as possible.

I read the community guidelines, and I don’t think the Google Form is against them but if it is I’ll try something different to share the project

The files/Bambu Studio project attached here are like a demo of the system so far to test things out.

Current Features

Summary

Configurable straight channels and diffusers
Configurable angled channels and diffusers
Channel connectors
Channel endcaps
Configurable mounting

Variable Meanings

To start configuring select the part you want to configure in the top selection and edit the parts parameters
- This works in the part studio as is and when inserting a part from the studio into an assembly
Every measurement is in Millimeter or Degrees

Part	Variable	Meaning	Notes
Channel	Channel Height	Total channel/diffuser height
Channel	Channel/Diffuser Width	Total channel/diffuser width
Channel	Channel/Diffuser Length	Total channel/diffuser length
Angled Channel	Primary Channel/Diffuser Length	Length of the “Flat” section of the angled channel/diffuser	Should work, still WIP though
Angled Channel	Secondary Channel/Diffuser Length	Length of the “Angled” section of the angled channel/diffuser	Should work, still WIP though
Angled Channel/Diffuser	Channel/Diffuser Angle	Angle of the angled channel/diffuser	Should work, still WIP though
Channel	LED Height	Vertical clearance for LED strip
Channel	LED Width	Horizontal clearance for LED strip
Channel	LED Fitting Gap	Gap to “Fit” the LED strip basically to keep it from falling out	This one is hard to explain you can look at the CAD to understand it better
Channel	Bottom Channel Thickness	Excess thickness on the bottom of the channel for mounting
Connector/Endcap	Connector/Endcap Toggle	Toggles configurations between a channel connector and channel endcap (Checked is for the connector unchecked is for the endcap)
Connector	Connector Depth	How far the connector goes into the channel
Diffuser	Diffuser Thickness	How thick the diffuser is
Diffuser	Diffuser Tolerance	How much tolerance there is between the sides of the channel and the sides of a diffuser
Diffuser	Top Diffuser Tolerance	How much tolerance there is between the top of channel and the bottom of the diffuser
Diffuser	Angled Diffuser Split	Splits the angled diffuser into two parts to print them separately
Diffuser	Angled End 1	Toggles an angled end to the right side of the straight diffuser
Diffuser	Angled End 2	Toggles an angled end to the left side of the straight diffuser
Channel	Mounting Style	Toggles between the mounting styles for the channel, flush (Default), Velcro (Cutout at bottom of channel) and Screw (Holes with optional counterbore)

Planned Features

Convert design to Fusion/OpenSCAD for importing to Makerworld
More angled channel variants
More mounting variants
Print/Filament profiles for parts (Not that big of a deal in my opinion)
Any feedback

Other Notes

Make sure to print the diffuser in a relatively light color so it works properly
Auto-generated supports can be helpful if stuff doesn't print correctly, however I tried to design everything to require minimal to no supports
Everything is still a work in progress so please let me know what works/doesn’t work and any other feedback you have in the comments or through the Google Form
I'll try to update things as frequently as I can depending on how interested people are in the project
Boost me if you want, I want to see how viable Makerworld is for getting store credit and stuff
