Anet A8 LED strip light guide

thingiverse

I created this simple thing. It's an LED light guide designed specifically for common Ebay LED strips. I used twelve LEDs, spaced 18.5mm apart - the standard size it appears. Each piece will shield the light from six LEDs, so I use two placed end to end for my twelve LEDs. The strip simply clips onto the 8mm frame under the display and shields all light coming from the LEDs when it's beyond a little way from the base. The plan is to illuminate the printer bed, full width and a little more; controlling spill outside that area. The example photo shows one printed in medium grey colour, with a little transparency on the plastic.
