CR-10 LED Light Bar - Simple Compact & Bright

thingiverse

It was time to upgrade the lighting on my CR-10. I had been using an old desk lamp off to the side, but it kept getting in the way. I found some really cheap and super bright vehicle LED light bars on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LS90YI4/ref=s9u_simh_gw_i1?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pd_rd_i=B01LS90YI4&pd_rd_r=4628c988-4a2a-11e8-bf0b-2fcaf32ef7bc&pd_rd_w=REXYh&pd_rd_wg=1QUyY&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=JP85DC75KWSP85WZ0P98&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=e6624b56-7cc1-411f-9d12-9cc8feb6c214&pf_rd_i=desktop and decided to make a nice mount. I looked through some designs online but decided to try something a little different. So I designed this mount to snap fit right under the top frame rail. The light bar also just presses into the mount. Perfect fit, easy to remove/install, and is only 5mm thick. Just print the Mount Body and 2 X mounting tabs. Very quick print just about an hour at .2. Crazy glue snap tabs to the slots on the underside of the mount body. You can wire the 12V light bar directly to your printers power supply, or use a 12V 1amp transformer. I personally used a transformer which connects to my DIY web controlled power outlet box. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2495910). A really quick and cheap upgrade with a huge improvement. Love it. Enjoy
