Do:
- Melt two inserts into one half of each mount, plus the Z chain guide's two and the retainer bracket's.
- Close the halves with two M3×6 FHCS. Four mounts per strip: three 100 mm plus one 50 mm.
Check
The halves close flush and no mount rocks on glass. Guide and bracket inserts flush, an M3 screw starting by hand in each.
What you're looking at
COB light strips are the chamber lighting: a continuous line of LEDs under one phosphor rather than separate dots. Each printed mount is a two-piece clamshell that grips the strip and bolts to a frame extrusion.
