Ender3 Lightbar (direct drive upgrade)

thingiverse

This is a custom-designed lightbar for the Ender3, specifically engineered to mount in place of the extruder on converted direct drive printers. It will not fit stock Ender3 models. The underside of the letters features an extrusion for a 10mm wide LED strip, allowing for a sleek and modern lighting effect. Cable management is efficiently handled through the base of the lightbar. For optimal printing results, it's recommended to orient the front of the letters downwards on the glass build plate. A creative touch could be achieved by attaching two strips back-to-back, with one strip illuminating the letters from within and the other strip lighting up the build plate - clear filament is necessary for this effect.
