Lightbars from aluminum profiles - LED Lights (back, front and sides)

prusaprinters

<p>Simple lightbars for the latest Prusa printers. The design includes a clipable lightbar which lightens the front and the back from the top of the printer as well as screwable vertical LED pillars which light the build platform. The setup allows lightning with only a few shadows and allows a good look at the nozzle in dark environments.</p> <p>By using a gear-like mount for the used LED profiles it is possible to adjust the lights during the installation.</p> <p>Besides the STL files there is also the OpenSCAD source for the profile mounting parts. If you like to use another aluminum profile you can edit it. If you don't know how to you use OpenSCAD I might add a new profile for you (just write me the dimensions and I will try to find the time).</p> <p>If anybody successfully did an edit for his own profile I would be glad if he would send me the SCAD file in order to add the resulting parts here.</p> <p>Hope this is useful. Happy printing!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Required parts</strong></p> <p>Top bar</p> <ul> <li>printable<br/> -- 1x left arm<br/> -- 1x right arm<br/> -- 4x top bar profile mount</li> <li>other<br/> -- 4x M3 nuts<br/> -- 4x M3 12mm screw<br/> -- 2x 230mm LED profile<br/> -- 2x 214mm LED profile cover<br/> -- 2x appr. 200mm LED strip</li> </ul> <p>Side pillars (both sides)</p> <ul> <li>printable<br/> -- 1x left mount<br/> -- 1x right mount<br/> -- 2x pillar profile mount<br/> -- 2x end caps<br/> -- 2x M4 T-Nut for 30x30 profiles (e.g. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3998406/files">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3998406/files</a>)</li> <li>other<br/> -- 2x M3 nuts<br/> -- 2x M3 16mm screws<br/> -- 2x M4 nuts<br/> -- 2x M4 14mm screws<br/> -- 2x 75mm LED profile<br/> -- 2x 63mm LED profile cover<br/> -- 2x appr. 50mm LED strip</li> </ul> <p>Additionally</p> <ul> <li>Some suitable cable</li> <li>(Soldering) tools</li> <li>Switches, connectors, etc.</li> <li>Cable ties</li> </ul> <p>The project is intended to be built from 1m LED profile (with cover) and 1m LED strip.
