Single WS2812 LED Holder for GepRC ZX4, ZX5, ZX6 by beepbeep

A simple holder for a single addressable LED (e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100pcs-ws2812-individually-addressable-rgb-full-color-ws2812b-led-emitter-chip-with-white-black-heatsink-dc/32619250295.html) to mount on the existing two vertical spacers.
I build the ZX5 in plus configuration so there is a gap at the bottom to get over the hardware - this is useful for running your battery cable through if you build an X.
Flip STL 180 degrees to print, then try and get some support in around where the LED will sit just to keep it round.
Hopefully self explanatory from the STL file, but basically solder 3 wires on the rear pads of the LED, then run the wires through the hole, place the LED with a drop of superglue on the rear where it touches the mount. Press together and hold until glue has set, then after you are installed and getting frisky with the hot glue, gunge up your solder joints on the LED and a bit extra for good measure and you should be problem free.
