A simple LED spacer for supporting an LED mounted to a PCB.
This is customizable but I included 30mm tall spacers (4mm wide for a 3mm LED and 6mm wide for a 5mm LED). **In your slicer simply lower the spacer below the build plate to achieve your desired height.**
Set the height and diameter of the spacer in the customizer app and you should be good to go.
For better stability I recommend setting the diameter to the LED size plus 1mm. For example 3mm LEDs work best with a 4mm wide spacer; 6mm for 5mm LEDs.
The default pitch is 2.54 which accommodates common protoboards.
The default hole size of 1 is enough for LED leads, you shouldn't need to mess with this.
**I recommend using a brim.**
