KingSong S22 Front Handle + Side Parts (w/ LED channel option!)

My design for the S22 handle and side plates!

Printed in TPU it's super durable and strong. Add some color, pattern, etc. Add new features, holders, clips, etc. Or just replace broken parts.

I've added an LED channel though all parts too. Make everything glow with some addressable LEDs!

Update 20220914: Redesigned power pad triangle - R led14x4.stl is now available, it has space for the wide 144leds/m LED strips that the handle can fit! Moar LEDs, moar brightness!

Update 20221118: finally uploaded my LED controller design! Over here also on printables

Wait! The STLs are Bait!

I want friends with S22's who like adding lights and 3D printing.. I want connections stories and photos!

I've uploaded only the most basic version of the mount.. no LED channels or anything. I'll send you any STL you'd like, even the original CAD models.. just message me on discord/telegram/printables!

Don't waste time erasing the logo in an awful STL editor! Just message me and I'll send you any configuration you'd like or even design-in your own monogram for you.

Configurations I can make thus far: (Happy to make new things too, I'm a geek about this stuff)

• Add an LED channel to run WS2812 LEDs though the inside!
• Make none/one/some/all of the bolt holes into stars rather than just boring circular holes.
• Add a text/logo or not. 

Some clips

Also over on thingiverse! Do leave a like in both places if you want more S22 parts!

Printing:

I recommend TPU. Rigid plastic like PLA will aesthetically work but will break when crashing whereas TPU is nearly indestructible and can be quite rigid if you want.

• Print with Cubic infill for rigid parts. It only takes 18% infill for the handle to feel like it's PLA.
• Print with Gyroid infill for flexy parts. 10% makes a part that's so soft it's useless. Do a test print with a few small sections to see what infill is right for you, I used 18%.
• What I use: Combine both! Cubic and 2 walls for the first 6mm then gyroid and 1 wall afterwards.

LEDs!

The handle is designed to accommodate 12mm addressable led strips. I used a 144 LEDs/meter WS2812 strip for mine.

The side panels had less room and they have 7mm of space, I used a 5mm thick 60 LED/meter strip. 

For a controller I recommend the incredible WLED project. I use an inexpensive ESP8266 and a custom 18650 holder to run things. Send me a message on discord/telegram/printables if you'd like more detail!
