Ender 3 Hot end mounted LED light strip mount

thingiverse

Ender 3 hot end mounted LED light strip attachment works also for Ender 3 pro. LED strip holder attaches to standard cooling fan & duct. Two STL files are included, one positions the LED strip at a 5 degree angle and the other at 12 degrees. The 12 degree version is preferred as it gets more light under the hot end. Not only was an LED light strip attached to the hot end but also inserted into both vertical uprights and mounted onto X gantry: see below for links to these. Power came from Ender-3 PSU, converting 24V DC to 12V DC for the LED strips using a buck converter as per https://howchoo.com/g/odk2ngrhztd/how-to-add-an-led-strip-to-your-3d-printer. The power wires were threaded inside the braided sleeve up to the hot end. First, fit the fan duct to the LED strip holder, then attach this assembly to the fan. If the fan is completely removed for fitting this mount, note that two long screws and two short ones are used. The short ones mount at the top and the long ones mount the fan, duct, and LED holder at the bottom. A switch holder for Ender 3 control has also been designed to discreetly mount a power switch for the LED lights.
