JGAurora A5 light bar

thingiverse

I needed some light for my printer so I created one in Sketchup. It's quite easy to install. I printed it with support touching the buildplate at 10% density for effortless removal. Print diagonally since it has a length of 353mm. There are three holes for mounting with height adjustment capabilities. To mount this light, follow these steps: 1.Remove any supports. 2.Add an LED strip and secure it in place using cyanoacrylate glue to ensure it stays firmly attached. 3.Unmount the plate from the printer by removing two self-tapping screws. 4.Align the bar to the plate and make sure it covers the entire surface. 5.Mark the holes in the middle for some tolerance room for adjustment purposes. 6.Drill 2.4mm holes into the marked areas. 7.Tap the holes with an M3 tap. 8.Mount it using short M3 screws, so you don't obstruct X-axis movement. I used M3x6 screws with a washer. 9.Connect the power source to a 12V outlet. My printer is already modified, so when my print job is completed, it will automatically switch off the cold end fan and lights after five minutes. You can find more information on this upgrade at: https://jgauroraforum.com/discussion/128/cold-end-fan-controller-upgrade#latest Aetek did a great job with this design. In normal situations, you can simply use a small wall adapter to power your LEDs directly. I used a 5050 strip because the 5630 might get too hot during long printing sessions.
