Ender3 Lightbar (direct drive upgrade)

thingiverse

this is a lightbar for the ender3. it mounts to the spot the extruder used to be if you converted to a direct drive extruder. IT DOES NOT FIT A STOCK ENDER3. on the underside of the letters is an extrusion for a 10mm wide led strip. the wiring goes through the base. printing orientation is best with the front of the letters facing down on the (glass) build plate. a nice touch with the leds could be to stick two strips back to back and let one strip illuminate the letters from the inside and the other light up the build plate. (clear filament needed).
