GoVee Curtain Light Minimalist Brackets

Govee Curtain Light Minimalist Brackets

These minimalist brackets are designed to be printed in PETG or other strong, UV-resistant material and are modelled for self-tapping 8x1 lath screws. 

Printing Notes:

- If you like clean prints, consider a sacrificial layer for screw holes and head offset.

- The hooks have a weird geometry to achieve that satisfying “click” when setting the white plastic leads on the lights. You may need to play with supports or add a breakaway sacrificial layer. 

Installation Notes:

The example photo shows that you can use these intermittently or on each light strand -- which is recommended. Also worth noting is that the gap in the photo is an error on my part. I attached the ends without strands for testing.

If you have a garage door like mine that is not flat, it's helpful to employ a laser level and pre-drill for the best results.

Side nodes:

- The photo is of the PLA test prints. It's not a long-term solution, but it's easier and cheaper than PETG for prototyping. If you're in a pinch, this proves it can work in a Canadian winter – but your mileage may vary.

Modification Requests:

I recommend printing a sample to test before committing to a build plate. If these don't work for you, I'm happy to edit the model if detailed info is provided.
