40mm fan guard with LED bar

thingiverse

Remixed 40mm fan guard to add Papsi's LED bar to print all in one piece. Print face up with supports enabled - only the LED bar wings should be touching the bed.. Custom supports are built into the model for the wings, but you'll need your slicer to generate supports to hold up the rest of the fan guard during printing. For the LEDs I bought the 6" sample size of the 24V 2835 LED strip found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TECLED-Eco-UL-16ft-LED-Strip-Light-Warm-White-3000K-576x2835-24vDC-CRI80-72W/122602326095. I found that one 2 inch unit (there's scissor marks to show where to cut) fits perfectly. 4/30/19 update - uploaded V2; replaced fan guard portion of the model with a slightly lighter weight variation (hollow center cone & a couple mm thinner overall). 8/16/19 update - If you're wiring this in parallel with the always-on hotend fan like I did, you might take a look at the remote control dimmer module here: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/single-color-dimmer-switches/single-color-mini-led-dimmer-w-lc2-connector-wireless-rf-remote-5-amps/3051/. The inline module part doesn't take up a lot of space and I was able to tuck it away with the rest of the wiring on my print head. This gives the ability to actually turn it off if needed during printing, and also adjust the brightness as 100% brightness created way too much glare for me (I've been using between 1%-5% brightness most of the time).
