Looks good, though adhesives are notorious for failing once they get warm a few times, and will fail eventually. I would totally put a couple of screws holding them up. Beyond that, love the setup.
Thanks! They actually are mounted each using two little screw, because of exactly what you wrote :) The lights itself have little hooks around them, basically to hold them in wood, but the layer lines come in handy here, that’s why I printed the mounts with 0.3 layer height.
That's really cool!
Thank you :)
I can't imagine why anyone would drill holes in the bottom of their cabinets to put lights in. Is that actually what you're supposed to do with that product?
Adhesive’s usually fail eventually.
Screw holes can be puttied and painted over if you need to.
Yeah the screw holes aren't a problem, but a 3 inch diameter would be. I thought it was crazy that those lights would be sold expecting people to do that, but it turns out he's salvaged them from a mirror.
These lights were originally designed to be used with a bathroom mirror I think. I just repurposed them as I was given them for free. But yes, I definitely wouldn’t want to drill holes that big into my kitchen cabinets. The little screw holes don’t bother me that much, they can be covered up once if needed.
Looks good!
Thanks!
