Z-19 rev 1.7 --Creality mod LED Switch Mount

thingiverse

So I installed some LED's to give my Ender 3 a bit of flair, but accidentally turned it into a night light, which wasn't exactly what I had in mind. To turn off this unwanted feature, I came up with this mod for the Z-19 rev 1.7 -- Creality model. It's a one-of-a-kind modification for a Creality printer. Check it out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2911981 You'll need some LED's to get started. I purchased mine from PrinterMods, which carries a wide range of products including the LED Lighting Kit for 3D Printers (Hot End Version): https://printermods.com/collections/all-products/products/led-lighting-kit-for-3d-printers-hot-end-version In addition, you'll need something to mount your LED's. I found this useful item on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3944418 To complete the mod, you'll also require a 2 cm rocker switch and some basic electrical skills (which happen to be within my skillset). Here's the link to the switches I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9X5Z9B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Installation is relatively straightforward, but here are a few tips to keep in mind: First, after printing the switch housing, slide the clip into it. The first time you do this, it may be a bit tight, but moving it back and forth a few times will make it easier to install. Next, wire your switch before installing it. Mock up your wiring lengths to get everything right, and use spade terminals if you plan on making changes in the future. Also, attach the cover to the back of the switch while you're at it. To complete the installation, place the clip at the top of the vertical support between the duct and nozzle fan. Then, slide the switch housing up over the clip, and you're done – unless you need to tidy up any cables or adjust the switch position along the support.
