Looking for tips on how you mount pixel strips to a window frame? My windows have a vinyl strip surround thats about 1.5" deep.

The pixels are in the standard black plastic strip that comes in a roll (think its for mega trees but looked good for outlining things too).

I got most of the props up and wired today, but being my first year I was short on time and didnt have a plan for the window frames already.

I do have a small army of 3D printers at my disposal if there a suggested clip I can print in ASA?

Anyway here's the progress. Still have 2 MOAWs to put in the peaks, a 9ft 840 pixel tree, the window frames, and some 100 node snowflakes to put up.

My wife still made me line the entire roof with our traditional LED twinkling icicles. She wasnt letting go of that no matter how many blinking pixels are on the house 😀 Then testing and praying everything works! I've triple checked all wires and power injection, so this 1st year setup is taking longer than anticipated. Next year will be SO MUCH quicker with all the wires terminated and labeled already as well as all the mounts made and tested!

I use clear silicone and cable tie mounts. Make sure you get all the adhesive off the back of them before applying silicone. Give it a day or two before to dry obviously. It cleans up easy if you need it to. I use C9's for house outline and windows. I ziptie the strip with C9's to 1/2" PVC frame and then ziptie the PVC to the cable tie mounts.
