3$ Light Bar for Ender3

Remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4699220 for cheapskates. You only need a few dollars to buy a USB powered LED strip on tape - similar to this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32990130701.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.fe702591xk6x7l I bought 2m white. It was enough to traverse the lightbar 3x and still have almost a meter left over to serve as a cable (covered in black electric tape to shield light). I use my OrangePi's hub to power, but you can always connect it to the printer if you have a buck converter, etc.. Everything else needed, you print (even the bolts!). Print: 4x Nuts + Bolts 1x middbar 2x endbar 2x eclip 2x barclip 2x arm Happy printing! PS: I added a zip tie but not sure it's really needed, I was moving it around a lot so I thought it needed more support for the 'cable' (see pic). EDIT: After a while the tape started to sag a bit on the opposite end. Now I have 2 zip ties, one at each end. Maybe I'll add a thin printed loop to slide in and add support for those whose colors will bad with zipties.
