LED Hanger for Ultimaker Original

thingiverse

There's one part in stock, but it mirrors perfectly. The holes are drilled slightly small, which suits my taste as they easily fit over the four knurled finger bolts on an Ultimaker Original print jet head. I sourced these LED lights from an auto parts store as add-ons for directionals. Each comes with two wires for steady or moving illumination and a separate negative lead. I spliced the wires together, then soldered them onto a 12V AC adapter to run both lights in parallel simultaneously. I still need to install a switch in the circuit, but it's a quick fix later on. The lights pivot smoothly in their plastic mounting bases. To secure the mounts to the printed hangers, I applied strips of 3M adhesive tape and gently sanded down the surfaces for a better fit. You can customize the Solidworks Part file if you'd like to create custom holders for your own lighting solutions or prefer different types of LED lights that are no longer readily available in stores (I regretfully couldn't track down their name as it's been over a year since I purchased them).
