Makerbot Light Halo
thingiverse
A PCB design for six LEDs is attachable to the extruder nozzle head via two threaded bolts. This is derived from the printable Makerbot light ring. The simple circuit features an additional functionality, wired into the extruder motor connectors 1A and 1B. When the motor runs forward, it lights three white LEDs; when reversing, blue LEDs are illuminated. Watch videos for examples of usage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRiLqAD1rlk and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoPX63fTHiw). Alternatively, use the PCB as a simple circuit to merely illuminate. Etch the board, drill holes and enlarge central hole for ceramic heater tape, solder in LEDs (alternating color and direction), wire three blue LEDs differently from white ones, and attach to Makerbot using four nuts. Finally, connect wires to extruder motor connector and print!
