Makerbot Light Ring
thingiverse
To enhance illumination in Cupcake #379, I created an LED holder shaped as a light ring using a 3D printer. It employs 3 LEDs, 3 resistors, and derives power from the 5V used for optical limit switches (which were removed after one day). Follow these instructions: utilizing an STL file, process it through Blender or similar software, then skeinforge with "outside extruded first" unchecked in FILL. Drill LED holes with a 5mm drill, install the LEDs, wire them in parallel with each resistor in series, attach the light ring to extra 3mm screws, and plug it in for optimal lighting.
