Neopixel holder for Reach3D

thingiverse

This is a holder and arms for Adafruit Neopixels 24 ring (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1586). It's a follow-up project to the new sliding Z sensor in http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1837968. You need to print the new hot end clamps to use this holder as they push the whole printing head away from gantry or just add some spacers that should do the trick also. 10/11/2016: added cooling fan bracket STL for Reach3D stock hot end users, see two last pictures added too (no need if you have an E3Dv6). Print it sliding ramp pointing up with some supports and brim thin surface on bed for adhesion. Print Settings: Printer: Reach3D Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15 to 20% Notes: You must print the diffuser in some clear plastic. I used ColorFabb nGen Clear filament. The diffuser is not mandatory, the holder should be snug fit enough to hold the neopixel ring in place. Post-Printing: How to Attach: You will need two pairs of M3x10 nut and bolts. First, mount the arms free of neopixel holders reassemble your whole hot end with new clamps. Then attach the holder to the arms. Code and electronics needed will be published soon work in progress on GitHub https://github.com/techyg/Reach3dLED-Arduino
