LED Tower - Lights for Anycubic Delta Kossel Linear Plus

thingiverse

These are compact LED towers designed specifically for my Anycubic Linear Plus (Model late 2017/early 2018). They fit snugly onto the stepper mounts and can hold three 3mm LEDs each. There are certainly better lights available on thingiverse, but I only had these simple LEDs in my parts bin, so if you're in the same situation: Enjoy. The holes have a diameter of 4mm defined in the CAD, making it possible to push them further in (you may need some glue!). For my printer, they are a bit tight with 3mm LEDs, but I didn't set it up for better precision yet. I added a second variant with an additional hole in the bottom center to route the power cable. Unfortunately, those cables I had don't fit, but maybe someone else might find this variant useful. Also, I included a cover for gluing to the back. This one should leave about 12mm of space for cable routing. Additionally, the cover has a center space (5.5mm, which should leave about 0.5mm room) and 1.5mm poles to properly push in the LEDs. I will not print the power-hole variant since the only spare wires I had are too thick to route that way at all. The tower height is intended for the heated bed holders I use, which are slightly higher than those coming as default (btw, I can really recommend these!). The heat bed is ~18.5mm above the 20x20 rails, and the tower adds another 15mm on top of that. I wanted to angle the LEDs at 80deg instead of 90deg, but I couldn't figure out how to do that in Autodesk. That's not too bad since the tower can easily be angled a little bit due to the rounded corners inside the bottom clip. Be cautious when fixing your cables down somehow, or even better, isolate them with shrinking tube. You might get shorts if they wiggle too much, and most printers vibrate a lot! For obvious reasons, they should also not block your timing belts
