Printrbot Light Holder

thingiverse

This allow you to place a 6cm diameter halo light underneath the printer so you can see your 3D prints in more detail. This works for the Printrbot Simple 2014 model, but it might work for others. You need supports and it will be hard to remove them, so what I did was I used a dremel to get rid of the supports. This is where I got the Halo LED Light:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1Pair-60mm-1210-3528-15LED-Car-Angel-Eyes-Halo-Ring-Light-Headlight-White-Light-/301212933623?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4621b09df7&vxp=mtr There is a problem with the printer drawing up too much power causing the light to flicker, but if you make one of these adjustable voltage regulators (or even buy them on line) you can set the brightness of your printer light.http://www.robotshop.com/en/pololu-s8v3a-step-up-step-down-voltage-regulator.html Instructions -Print the Model -Clean up all of the supports -Place the light holder on the printer (Shown in picture) -Use a zip tie to hold the Halo light (Shown in picture) -Connect the positive end into the red end of the 12v powersource (Show in picture) -Connect the negative end into the black end of the 12v powersource (Show in picture) -[there is a small place where you can insert the wires into the printer motherboard. You may need players to push them in] -Turn on the printer and now you have light
