thingiverse

Thingiverse has issues updating a aspects of an existing model. The files have been updated and are no longer a WIP. If you had downloaded the prior version, you only need to download Top Left Arm and Top Right Arm. Additional parts needed 2@ M4 X 16 screws 2 @ M4 T Slot Nut Fastener This is a top gantry LED mount for an END 3 Max Neo. It pairs with my X Axis gantry LED mount. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5931926. This design is good to give overall lighting where the other model is for focus lighting and status lighting for the print itself. In my implementation, I use the LED's mounted in this model for overall white lighting, where the LED's in my other design I use for "spot" lighting and status lighting because I can easily see them in my camera can provide status of the print via the LEDs. Although I do not use the cover for this LED mount design, one is provided. If you choose to use the cover, it is recommend to print in white PLA. Although the LEDs can get warm I have not had an issue with the PLA deforming. This design uses 12 LEDs per side. I use a Athom WLED High Power Addressable LED controller. In the WLED app, one segment is created for the print focus LEDs and another segment for the LEDs in this mount. You potentially could create multiple segments for the LEDs in this mount. I have tested the Athom WLED High Power Addressable LED controller with up to 120 LEDs with no issues. More than that, the LED's may not be able to obtain full brightness without another power source. Although there are 8 models the left and right/ front back sides are the same and you could just print 2 of each model, All models and are provided to help prevent confusion. The is a split version of the LED cover to make it easier to slide onto the channel. You can choose either the full or split version. Feel free to ask any questions.
