Anycubic Chiron Light System

thingiverse

This is my innovative design for adding illumination to the X-Axis of the Anycubic Chiron 3D printer. To create this, you'll need the following materials: -PLA/ABS/PETG in black for the support that holds the LED Strip -PLA/PETG in transparent color for the Light diffuser -LED Strip 35cm long -3 screws M4 -3 T-nuts -2 pairs of 2 wires connectors -about 60cm of red/black AWG26 wire If you're using a 24V voltage source, you'll be fine. However, if you have a 12V LED Strip like I do, you'll need to add a StepDown power supply (3 euros online) to convert the 24V to 12 V. You can tap into the power directly from the head box of the Chiron using the red/black wires and following the cable path through the chain guide to the light system. In the Head Block, you'll find the +24V on pins 2,4,6 or 8 and the GND(-) on pins 14 or 15 of the BIG-RED connector that connects the headblock to the Chiron Body. The Pin1 is marked on the PCB with a square. The pins are arranged as follows: Square Pin v 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 |...|..| .......................|.....| ...+24V................GND(-) WARNING: Complete the job with the power supply OFF and double-check your connections before switching ON.
