Anycubic i3 Mega Lightning with Neopixel-Strip and NodeMCU

myminifactory

  A holder for a Neopixel-Strip on top of the Anycubic i3 Mega frame(it might work on other printers as well). Additionally I added a holder for a NodeMCU µC, as well a cable-holder for the cables to no get in the way of any spinning parts. All those holders can be placed as you like.  You could also use a normal LED-Strip and connect it to a powersupply, but I decided to use the Neopixels and NodeMCU because I'm flexible with them. Atm I only have a simple program that fades into white, as soon as the USB has 5V. Nothing special but it's possible to make a program driven by an app when connected to NodeMCU etc. To compile the program I use PlatformIO on Atom. I will post the link to the small code in the comments as soon as I know that it's ok to post external links here :)   Additional Requirements: - Neopixels-Strip - NodeMCU
