LED Strip Light for Printrbot Simple Metal

thingiverse

Based on the LED Holder for Printrbot Simple Metal by Sibanamush, I created a simplified design that utilizes LED strip lighting instead of individual LEDs. The entire part is one continuous piece and features a skirt to block stray light and zip-tie holes to prevent wire tension from pulling on the strip itself. The part is designed as a friction-fit onto the printer's Y-Arm, requiring slight scaling adjustments for optimal fitment. I used "LE 12V DC Flexible LED Strip Lights" purchased from Amazon for the lights themselves, which were soldered to 22 AWG wire. The adhesive-backed strip was reinforced with a few dabs of epoxy for added security.
