The negative wire can be pushed all the way through the LED Mount.</li> <li>Connect wires to Einsy Board as shown <a href="https://d17kynu4zpq5hy.cloudfront.net/igi/prusa3d/esi141KxVvPKUWXE.huge">here</a></li> </ol> <p><strong>Changelog:</strong></p> <ul> <li>08/05/2020: Changed some parts of the model for easier FDM printing and better removal of the supports</li> <li>09/15/2020: The filament guide is a bit wider now</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/16681-mk3-mk3s-cable-clip">Here</a> are additional cable clips you might also want to print to hide the wires behind the frame.</p> <p>I recommend to use the .gcode or .3mf file as this is already correctly orientated and sliced. If not, take care to not have supports inside the mount.<br/> <img alt="Buddy" height="20" src="https://i.ibb.co/x8GpHH6/attention.png" width="20"/> Also carefully remove the supports around the filament guide!</p> <p><em>If you like this file or need some adjustments feel free to leave a comment.
