Prusa i3 LED Lightbar with Filament Guide MK2 / MK3 / MK3S

thingiverse

Here is my design for a Lightbar that is specifically tailored to the Prusa MK2* & MK3(s).\r\n\r\n**Features:**\r\n- The LED's are powered directly by the printer.\r\n- Wiring runs neatly inside the mount.\r\n- An integrated filament guide keeps things tidy.\r\n- A convenient on/off switch makes it easy to use.\r\n- The Lightbar is directly wired to the Einsy board for a seamless connection.\r\n\r\n**Hardware needed:**\r\n- Wires are a must-have for this project.\r\n- A standard 10x15mm switch, like the one linked below, will work perfectly.\r\n- Soldering tools are necessary for assembly.\r\n- A 24V LED Strip that is up to 10mm thick, similar to the 5050 model, will provide great lighting.\r\n\r\n**Installation Guide:**\r\n1. Cut the LED strip to the desired length, which should be no more than 21cm.\r\n2. Solder wires to the strip and feed them through the cable channel for a clean look.\r\n3. Connect one wire to the switch on one side and another wire to the other side of the switch. The negative wire can be pushed all the way through the LED Mount.\r\n4. Connect the wires to the Einsy Board as shown in the link below.\r\n\r\nAdditional cable clips can be printed from the link provided to hide any excess wiring behind the frame.\r\n\r\nI recommend using the .amf file, which is already correctly oriented and sliced for use with PrusaSlic3r. If not, make sure to avoid supports inside the mount.\r\n<b>Also carefully remove supports around the filament guide!</b>\r\n\r\n<h5>*If you are using this on the MK2 make sure to buy 12V LED strips and connect them differently (directly to the PSU)</h5>\r\n\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"></p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<h6 style="text-align: center;"><em>If you like this file or need some adjustments feel free to leave a comment.
