V3 Printer bracket for Ikea LEDBERG LED strip.

thingiverse

I wanted more light so I could keep an eye on the print when it was getting darker so I bought a pack of Ikea LEDBERG led strips. The pack comes with 3 strips with a 24 volt plug in power supply. Because the V3 uses a 24 volt PSU I wired the strip directly to the internal PSU. This requires soldering wires onto the strip connectors. BE CAREFULL not to short them together if you choose to do the same. I am NOT responsible for how you decide to power the LED strip(s). I have just the one strip attached at the moment but intend to fit another to the right side (looking from the front of the printer) pretty soon. The bracket can be fitted on either side of the printer. It uses the two middle side screws that attach the left or right column covers to the frame. The original screws are long enough so no new screws required. The original brackets relied on double sided sticky pads (mirror tabs) to hold the strip in place but on my printer, when printing ABS the heat caused the pads to unstick. V2 od the design had clips top and bottom to hold the strip but weren't wide enough. V3 is this one and holds the strip in place nicely. I made the brackets big enough to hold the LED strips with double sided pads also attached but do work without pads.
