LED 8 mm strip magnetic mount by Doer

Finally got around to a better mounting for the LED strip on my Printrbot metal plus. I have about 14" of white, 8 mm wide, 12 volt, LED strip tucked under the top of the printer frame. I am using two of these 6" long holders, there is a about a one inch unsupported gap in the middle but it works fine. The magnets are these https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=R422CS-S I tried a different method to attach these, I pushed them in and then used a soldering iron to quickly melt the center plastic post in the middle of each magnet. I suppose glue would work too. Originally I was going to use machine screws but I didn't have the right size. I wired them in to the printers main power. It lights up the bed nicely. No supports needed. I used Paramount 100M matte black filament.
