I like them, they may not be as pretty, but you can customize their look based upon your needs.

Frank,

Great looking results. Nice use of your 3D printer! I was looking for a similar product for surface mount LEDs. On my PiCasso project, I was using an RGB surface mount LED to in normal orientation and I was looking for some right angle LEDs with similar specifications to provide side illumination, but I was unable to find a suitable match. In the process I was thinking that it would be cool if someone made an adapter that would could switch the normal orientation into right angle (much easier with leads).

Nice work!

Frank,

This is a great idea, I might have to have a go myself. I use white ABS so I'm not sure if they would look better or worse.

They look great!

It's an excellent use-case for a 3D printer.. making mounts for LEDs, switches, PCBs, etc.

What size nozzle are you using? one thing I noticed is the layer height there you might be able to lower it to get some better results as well.

did you put the design file or stl on thingiverse or anything?
