Led Strip Support for MK8 Geeeetech

thingiverse

To easily attach a LED strip to an MK8 extruder, one must first prepare the necessary tools and materials. The MK8 extruder has a simple and straightforward design, making it ideal for this task. Begin by gathering a soldering iron and any necessary solder, as well as a LED strip of your choice. Next, locate the thermal sensor on the MK8 extruder and carefully remove any existing thermal paste or other debris from the surface. This will ensure a clean connection between the LED strip and the extruder's heat sink. Using the soldering iron, attach the LED strip to the heat sink, taking care not to damage the delicate electronics within. Once attached, apply a small amount of thermal paste to the heat sink to help dissipate heat away from the extruder. Finally, test the LED strip to ensure it is functioning properly and providing adequate illumination for your printing needs. With these simple steps, you can successfully attach a LED strip to an MK8 extruder.
