LED light bar remixed to fit 5050 LED strips

thingiverse

I am creating a remix of budge72's exceptional LED light strip and modifying his Logitech C270 mount to work seamlessly with Federsosnin's outstanding ball and socket mount system. The base mount I'm utilizing is Kofferkulli's excellent design, which connects directly to the Ender 3 using its existing screws. I wanted a cheap USB-powered, remote-controlled color-changing light strip for my Ender 3 to use with the octoprint webcam. This would allow me to turn it off at bedtime or change colors as needed. To accommodate the 5050 light strip, I made the face where the LED strip rests taller. Instead of powering the light strip from my pi, I'm cutting the USB tip and powering it directly from the buck converter that's powering my pi. This eliminates increased current draw through the pi, reduces heat generation, and contributes to overall system efficiency. This is my very first remix on my brand-new 3D printer, which I've had for only two weeks.
