Description
I love the lightning on my Prusa now. It's a little work but it's worth it.
You can buy any LED lights from 1 meter up in any store or online...
I have bought basic (5050) RGB led strip lights with remote control, so it can change colors and simulate DISCO lightning. :)
Led strip costed me about 10eur.
Printing Details
Print:
- 1x main-hull (with SUPPORT material! - look at photo. In this part you'll put in LED strip) - with support
- 2x holder-left (or you can print one left and one flipped) - no support
- 2x connector (if you want to have longer holder for lamp you can print more of them) - no support
- 1x hull side left (side cable cover) - no support
- 1x hull side right (side cable cover - has opening for cable) - no support
- 1x glass.stl (WITH TRANSPARENT FILAMENT! - if you dont have it, dont print it - it covers the lights) - no support
- Print at least 4x screws with nuts or buy / use any other with specs:
- 9mm diameter
- 20mm length (15mm thread and 5mm nut)
- ( I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647 )
Assembling:
- cut LED strip on 3x 30 cm strips
- glue them to the main-hull one below the other
- use short connection cables or solder it (like me)
- cover it on the left and right with hull-side-left and hull-side-right
- attach transparent layer in the middle
- attach connectors and holders with screws
- attach all on prusa frame
Wiring
- I had connect it to my 12V power supply, so it goes on when I turn on my printer.
For frame I used Filamentum Vertigo Grey filament and it goes great with original Prusa frame color.
