<p>Here is an extremely inexpensive, adjustable, snap-on, and non permanent way to light up the work space on your Ender, CR-10, or any other printer with a 2020 extrusion.</p> <p>LEDs: https://amzn.to/2CGELyi or <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-USB-LED-Portable-Night-Light-Bright-Mini-Keychain-Camping-Car-Lamp-Module/152806606249?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649">https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-USB-LED-Portable-Night-Light-Bright-Mini-Keychain-Camping-Car-Lamp-Module/152806606249?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;\_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649</a><br/> USB Extension: https://amzn.to/2Co6dk6 or <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-Mini-A-Male-to-Female-Extension-Cable-Cord-A-A-M-F-3-FT-3-2-000-SOLD/311989252345?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649">https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-Mini-A-Male-to-Female-Extension-Cable-Cord-A-A-M-F-3-FT-3-2-000-SOLD/311989252345?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;\_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649</a><br/> or<br/> Build your own as I did with a spare USB cable as seen in the photos below.</p> <p>You can plug this directly into your Raspberry Pi or use a Buck/Step-Down Converter directly from the bottom of your power supply. You can even print a neat little snap-on case I made found here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3164882">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3164882</a></p> <p>I recommend printing 2x Balls, 4x Nuts, 4x Spacers, 1x Snap On Mount, 1x Main Pivot, and 1x USB LED Mount for a good shine right onto the bed surface. You will need a M3x20mm screw for the pivot between the mount and the led holder.</p> <p>Once you have these printed, you can just snap the USB LED right into the mount.</p> <p>If you are interested in my camera mount that uses a simular system as this light, head over here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3147899">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3147899</a></p> <p>Check out the photos (above) of the light output in the dark!</p> <p>Enjoy and post your makes!</p> <p><em>If you found my Things useful, treat me to a cup of coffee by using the PayPal button below :)</em> Buy me a cup of coffeeBuy me a cup of coffee $3.00 USDBuy me a massive cups of coffee $5.00 USDGive me a caffeine coma $10.00 USD<strong> Update: Added "Main Pivot v2.stl" to strengthen the mount</strong></p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Ender 3</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.15</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>30%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Inland PLA Peak Green<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Supports: Lines, Built Plate Only, 70 degrees</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Since I didn't have a spare USB extension cable, I cut a micro USB cable I had laying apart and soldered the + and - directly to the USB LED.</strong></p> <p><strong>A little shrink wrap to keep the wires from being exposed and you have yourself a functional USB LED flashlight! Then just snap it onto the mount and you are ready to rock!</strong></p> <h3> Example from above with USB extension</h3> <p><strong>Example from above using an USB extension instead of soldering</strong></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
