prusaprinters

<p>This is an LED light bar for a Original Prusa Mini. This light bar is powered by a 12V power supply. It mounts to the top of the Z axis using two M5x35 flat head screws. The stock screws are M5x15 button head. The dimmer/power switch is located above the Z axis extrusion and the wire is fed down the back side of the extrusion and is hidden like the Z axis motor wire. No support required.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Parts</strong></p><ul><li>2x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A13deU">M5x35 Flat Head Screws</a></li><li>2x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Afg1Z2">M5x20 Flat Head Screws</a></li><li>2x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AnVbUC">M5 Nuts</a></li><li>1x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AM8Rne">LED Aluminium Channel, 50cm, U-Style (7x17.65mm)</a></li><li>1x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_98ao9A">Warm White, non waterproof 5054 LED strip 5m</a></li><li>1x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AAwyNO">Mini 12V LED Controller</a></li><li>1x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AmP8NK">Wire (Red/Black, AWG22)</a></li><li>1x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A80foC">DC Power Connector Jack 2.1mm x 5.5mm</a></li><li>1x <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_99l3Ik">12V Power Suppy EU Plug</a> or <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AmyamC">12V Power Suppy US Plug</a> (a high quality one, MeanWell or similar.

I would be happy if you use this link, but of course you don't have to. I have linked exactly the offers from which I have also bought and was satisfied with the supplier and the goods. The products can of course be bought anywhere.</p><p><strong>Credits</strong><br>The idea for this project comes from <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/39453-prusa-mini-led-light-bar">jagr200</a>. Its design did not fit so well on my Mini. I then completely redesigned it from scratch and optimized some details.</p>
