Illumination Kit for P802 (Prusa I3)

thingiverse

I've attaced one of these creepy cheap usb LED-lamps you can buy on ebay or places like that to my printer. I own 2 P802 (one Metal and one acrylic version), thats why ive made 2 different types of the kit. the part which hold the lamp If you've got an printer with bowden extruder you'll need to take the "lampenhalterV2" file. If you've got an direct driven extruder, take the other version. (i can only guarantee, that they'll fit on Zonestar extruders, but maybe other extruders will also work) for the part which hold the switch : If you have got a metal frame take "schalterhalterV2"... otherwise take the other Version(note: I've got the Z.R.I.B. control board, maybe it wont work with an other board.) (the other version will fit more likely to different types of the frame) the switch have a dimension of 12.5 mm x 13 mm Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.1 Infill: 20% Notes: I've used a Wall thickness of 1mm (this should work fine) Post-Printing Prepare the electronics I've simply cutted off the USB connector of the lamp so i can attatch cables. Also I`ve changed the serial resistor of the diode so i can use it with 12 Volts instead of 5 volts. (Please keep in mind, that the resistor will have a higher loss in power (it'll get warm !!))
