Bambu Lab P1P LED Light [Harbor Freight Edition]

cults3d

This is a snap on cable management plate for the front (above the door) next to built in 5v USB Port with provisions to slide in a an LED pulled out of those free harbor freight flash lights. Most people have these laying around and it gives off at least double if not triple the amount of light as the built in LEDs. Basically pull the LED, slide it in to this plate, solder it to a USB plug (i cut a spare charge cable I had laying around to use) and wire to to a switch or the board itself (to control it via the app like the original LED). I also added a provision to snap one of those circular on/off switches and cutout some of the end to clear the USB plug head. NOTE PLEASE READ You will need to also wire in the resistor from the flashlights board to dissipate the heat created by the 5v source or you'll burn the light out rather quickly. I'm not an electrician, but I found this out after burning out my first one. I'm not entirely sure what voltage this light can handle without needing a resistor (if someone can comment if you know), but you'll either need something to reduce the voltage a smig or just reuse the resistor, which is what I did. The resistor does get hot enough to soften PETG, so just be aware of that, but it should be ok since the flashlight itself is 3 AAA Batteries = 4.5-4.6v which is very close to 5v, but again I'm not an electrician.
