Light up your printer

thingiverse

Want to have something to appear on your timelapse that shows how your print is going? This is a simple light-bar setup for an Anycubic Mega series of printers. It should be easy to convert to fit your printer. There are 3 parts listed: * Test piece to check that it will fit on your printer (it should take around 5 minutes to print) * Main light bar (print 3 of theses vertically & hot glue / superglue them together ) * display bar to show percentage completion Print out the relevant parts, get some WS2812B LEDS such as theses ones https://amzn.to/2KhvcIH I'm still working on the code to get it to display the relevant information in colourful lights & integrating it into the OctoPrint API. There is another stage in the works to get the information displayed on a 20x4 LCD display as well. Check back for updates when the next stage of the project happens. You will require some 6x2mm magnets such as https://amzn.to/3cpyghQ to secure the display bar to the front of the machine, The "2 strip" will fit 2 rows of 5 lights if you use the strip mentioned above Sketchup file is included but as this is a work in progress, files may change over time
