LED Bracket for the Printrbot Simple Metal

thingiverse

The LED Bracket shines light onto your extruder, making it easier to see the filament as it is being extruded. Ideally, the bracket swivels, giving you a flexible light source that can be moved for better angles when taking pictures. This LED Bracket is not compatible with "print one at a time" settings. --- Support 3D Creator --- If you would like to help me create more cool things and remake stuff, or buy me coffee that will fuel my creativity, you can click here. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: Yes Supports: No How I Designed This I used a small LED Strip with double-sided tape to attach it to the curved bracket. The bracket is held by a clip that fits onto the metal sensor, as seen in the picture. I used an M3 bolt to hold everything together. The light shines onto the hotend, making it easier to see the filament being extruded. It is not ideally made for fan shrouds that cover the entire hotend, but I haven't tried it yet. I got this idea from this link here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:628954 and modified it to suit my aesthetic needs. Extra Materials Here are the materials that I used to pull this off: LED Strips DC adapter M3 Bolt and nut Sandpaper (100 grit works fine)
