It's time to elevate the lighting on your CR-10. The old desk lamp has been a hindrance, constantly getting in the way. I discovered some incredibly affordable and extremely bright vehicle LED light bars on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LS90YI4/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i1?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pd_rd_i=B01LS90YI4&pd_rd_r=4628c988-4a2a-11e8-bf0b-2fcaf32ef7bc&pd_rd_w=REXYh&pd_rd_wg=1QUyY&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=JP85DC75KWSP85WZ0P98&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=e6624b56-7cc1-411f-9d12-9cc8feb6c214&pf_rd_i=desktop and I decided to create a custom mount. I browsed through various designs online but wanted to try something unique. So, I designed this mount to snap fit under the top frame rail. The light bar simply presses into the mount for a perfect fit, easy removal/installation, and a slim thickness of just 5mm. Simply print the Mount Body and two Mounting Tabs. A quick print takes about an hour at .2. Glue the tabs to the slots on the underside of the Mount Body with crazy glue. You can connect the 12V light bar directly to your printer's power supply or use a 12V 1amp transformer. I opted for a transformer that connects to my DIY web-controlled power outlet box (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2495910). This upgrade is incredibly quick and affordable, with a significant improvement. I'm thrilled with the result. Enjoy!
