Geeetech A10M extruder light bar for LED strip

thingiverse

This is a remix of the extuder light bar from Megasaturnv who remixed it from Hermiedug. As I only got these RGB LED strips that have a cuttable area every 10cm, I had to rework some things to fit my needs. - I extended the mount to the left and right to fit my 10cm RGB LED strip. - I redesigned the "mount" to snap in the ventilator grid. - I added a small cable clip on the left to lay the cables directly with the ones of the 3D Touch sensor. - I also added some clips to hold the RGB LED strip in place. As I don't trust my double-sided duct tape with that many temperature changes! My original design was a bit closer to the hotend, and I got problems with deforming parts, so I decided to go as far back as I can. I decided to power this strip with a battery so I don't have to tinker with other electronics. If you need some more information, just ask me. I could also redesign a bit if needed. ------------------ Hermiedug's original summary: A little light under the extruder often helps with getting the first layers down properly. This very simple light bar requires 3 of those 12V sticky back LEDs that can be bought on a roll from Amazon and other online sellers. I used cable ties to support the wire along a Bowden tube, and the battery sits on top of the PSU with double-sided tape for a fixing - all very simple.
