Ultimaker Original Hotend LED Mount

thingiverse

Simple LED strip mount for Ultimaker Original. Please note that there are different "pitch" LED strips. I have 2x rolls of so called 5050 LED but only one of them can be cut short enough to be used in this mount. Hence UMO is 19v machine use 24v LED strip or 12v on separate external PSU (suggest to run it on 9v to reduce heat dissipation, especially PLA might not take full 12v load heat nicely) Hence my UMO is single head I had spare 3x pin 2nd hotted thermistor wire which I used to connect LED strip to LED pinout on Ultimaker's 1.5.7 board. If you wish to lower it closer to bed use generic M3 washers. In my case hence I'm using E3D nozzles it's perfect height. Also consider printing it with ABS or so hence it's close to hotted and extra heat generated from LED strip itself. Especially if you have heated bed. Having that said mine is PLA but I have no heated bed, 24v strip running on 19v and printing PLA only so low hotted temperatures and cooling always on. Please share your make and setup!
