There are a few Shendrones Tweaker 180 light mounts, but none that are 50mm across to permit 3 LEDs from a 60LED/m strip to fit cleanly. So I knocked this up. You might want to adjust the depth of the cubes in the (horrible, terrible) SCAD file so the bar doesn't overhang the back of the frame by a mm or so, but as provided it leaves the most room for the ESC on the rear arms.
You may also need to adjust the standoff diameter if you aren't using the stock gold 5mm ones - I gave a half-mm allowance over the 5mm pins I used and it's still a moderately tight fit. There are constants declared that define the inner dimension and outer dimension between the posts, and commented out truth bars that can help you make sure you're adjusting things the right way before going to print it.
Updated 2015-10-05 to put vias for zip ties, bring the bar back to be more flush with the back of the quad's frame, and provide a passageway for the rear ESCs power connectors so they aren't quite so tight on 18xx class motors. Print with support to keep the raft face hidden, or flip 180 and print that way if your printer produces clean raft separation.
Updated 2015-10-07 to add a second lightbar for the front. It should fit under a board cam and not interfere with the lower mounting nuts, while still being wide enough for 3 LEDs. It's a twin of the rear lightbar, and if you wanted you could use the front file for both front and rear.
Updated 2015-10-24 to add a dual antenna mounting solution. It's designed for the standard 1/8" Du-bro style antenna tubes, drill it out per usual for printed parts.
Updated 2015-12-07 to add a HS1177 (aka Foxeer XAT600M DC5V-22V 600tvl Sony Super HAD CCD FPV Camera) mount. The standard one just screws in to the frame using a M3x8 screw & nut, the mk2 also aligns over the front standoffs. Note, they'll both need longer screws to tap in to the camera itself - the ones I'm using are 2.3x6mm. The camera is a tight fit, but it does eventually get in there. Currently untested - but I was getting slop in the stock metal bracket, so here we are.
