AM8 - LED Strip Support

thingiverse

I built this LED strip support for my Anet AM8 3D printer. This support is made up of two parts: a left side and a right side. A 35cm LED strip with 21 LEDs operating at 12V powers the display. Double-sided tape holds it in place on the support. To turn the LEDs on and off, I use a relay connected to the power supply unit (PSU), which is linked to a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint. The Enclosure Plugin manages the LED control via Octoprint; you can find more information at https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/enclosure/. If you don't have Octoprint, you can use a switch and connect it directly to the power supply to control the LEDs. To assemble the stand, I used four M5 square nuts and four M5x10 button head socket cap screws - the same hardware used for other AM8 components. Happy printing!
