Davinci Pro hot end LEDs

thingiverse

I have a Davinci Pro. It has LEDs inside to light up the chamber. The chamber is nice and bright, except right at the nozzle. It is always in a shadow. I made this clip on LED holder. It clips on the front 2 linear bearing housings and you can rotate it around a little bit. The LED strips run on 12vdc. I don't know if there is 12vdc in this printer or not. I have a tiny video camera inside my printer so I can watch my print progress remotely. It runs on 12vdc. Too easy. I got a 12vdc splitter and powered my LEDs from the camera's 12vdc power supply. I made 2 versions of this LED mount. One for a LED strip, cut down to 3 LEDs. It measures 50mm X 8mm. The other version has (2) 5mm holes in it for 5mm LEDs. And looking at the picture, yes, it is a Pro. BUT I use S3D, E3D V6, and a PrintinZ build plate. DISCOVERY: If the little ears break off when you clip it on to the bearing housings, then print it again, and increase your infill. 20% might be too low. Try 50%. REVISION - I beefed up the ear that broke at 20%, it' stronger there now but I would still use an infill of 50%. I made 3 versions. LED strip 2 led's 5050 3 led module Be careful with the 5050 module bracket. It hangs down lower than the other 2 and there might be interference when setting your z offset or zeroing your axes.
