Edit Update 3rd September - all spacing options, corner pieces and mounting options are now published for free on Thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6753173
I initially put this up on the unofficial FB group to gauge any interest and get some initial comments of a little 3D printed project I am are working on...
The work on this was inspired by other designs floating around for the US scene done in inches
Snap in Seed strip for the Neta 16x10mm square trunk electrical conduit from Bunnings.
Initial design is 25mm spacing and I expect it to actually work with 1" space seeds, definitely fits current 3 wire seed strings but will need a small increase in sizing for the 4 wire dual data pixels... I actually have neither at the moment. I have already had an offer to send me some for testing the fit.
The printed strip just snaps into the Deta trunk conduit and is a firm fit.
Both strait and corner pieces have been completed, printed and tested with the older style thin wire 4" space seeds i do have![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

There is enough room in the 16x10 for a least 1 x 24x0.20 power run and 3 wire pixels and you may even squeeze in two. I haven't worked out how to drop them out to do a power inject point yet.

Corner design, both seed snap strip and conduit looks like this. Corner snap pieces will always be 2 units long regardless of spacing and don't require left and right.

To be done yet
work on mounting clips for the conduit to clip into.
Versions planned for release was we confirm with some current seed pixels.
25mm spacing
30mm Spacing
40mm Spacing
50mm spacing
Print lengths to cover most print bed sizes
240mm
300mm
360mm
Module lengths as low as a single unit letting you print and build window frames etc as close as possible to the size required
might all be too late for this year but maybe useful for some.
Good news, all designs will be release FREE of cost on Thingiverse for people to print.
Initially for local Canberra people without access to a printer then I can look at printing these at cost if there is demand.
Open to thoughts, ideas and feedback
PS figure i can track request better via the forum than on the FB group
Cheers
Phil
