The file 'Sewable 5mm LED Mount 3D Printer Model' is (txt,scad,stl) file type, size is 5.9KB.
I needed a way to mount a standard 5mm LED onto my "wearable" project (a Santa hat). I created this little sewable mount, and printed it with NinjaFlex (I used "Semitransparent White", http://www.adafruit.com/product/2445 printed at 100% fill).
There's a groove inside to hold the ridge on a 5mm LED. The hole in the middle is tapered to ease insertion from the side with the mounting ears.
These mounts are NOT designed for use with conductive thread. You'll have to use a more conventional wiring technique, like wire wrapping, soldering, or crimp connectors.
By the way, the LED in the picture with 4 leads is an addressable LED, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12986 that is compatible with Adafruit's Neopixels.
