Rostock LED light ring

thingiverse

To avoid bending over with a flashlight, try using 3M LED light strips; however, their shape may not fit the Rostock platform. Instead, use 1-watt LEDs at a lower wattage to prevent heat damage from the hotend. At full power, three LEDs can be blinding, so choose an appropriate resistor value for brightness control. Wire the LEDs in series with the resistor on the positive side and use a 1/4" drill bit to clean out the LED holes. Remember not to connect the LEDs without a resistor and consider using sandpaper to diffuse light for a softer look. For polycarbonate prints, use pseudo support as regular support can damage the finished product.
