X Gantry LED Light bar for Ender 3

thingiverse

I had some spare pieces of LED light strip after installing some in my extrusion on my Ender 3 Pro and wanted to add more light at the bed. So, I remixed the LED light bar with an angle. Added space for 3 rows of LED strip lights. I made slots for the lights so I wouldn't have to rely on sticky tape. Added clips to attach it to the gantry instead of using T-nuts. This required quite a bit of soldering for a novice, but wasn't impossible. I recommend bending the wire and cutting to fit before soldering. I ruined enough LEDs for another light bar trying to bend it after it was soldered together. I ended up pulling the wires out of the tiny connectors and drilling out bigger holes to hold my wires for soldering. It helped with alignment.
