Ultimaker Original LED Strip holder

thingiverse

I have just bought my brand new Ultimaker Original + aka UMO+, and started to add some custom features ;) Here is a simple LED strip holder that make possible to bring UMO+ the UM2's like lighting. To do that we need 3 elements : - 24v DC LED Strip (Like this one : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01HG63RCS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - LED Strip Holder to fit into the UMO+ enclosure - Firmware Customization to enable LED ligthing support. --> To do that, use Ultimaker firmware builder by Amedee : https://bultimaker.bulles.eu/ --> By defaut building a firmware there will enable LED support, and associated "Control" Menu entry. This make also possible LED Brightness dimming, amazing ! Just flash built firmware with Cura. Solder the 2 Led Strip parts together in Parallel mode, and then connect those on the "LED PWM" dedicated pin on the Ultimaker board. (+ and - are clearly identified on the board, but be carefull !) This is designed to 20cm LED Strip part, because strips I have bought can be cutted of every 10cm, be aware that depending on manufacturer this is not a standard. Finally I glued the strip on the holders with Cyano like glue, and glued the holders on Ultimaker enclosure with hot glue because it is easy to remove if needed.
