I decided to add LED for my Kossel 3d printer (My model is Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus) to make it easier for me to check if I need to print overnight.
Material:
6x LED stripes (12VDC, width: 1cm, length: 15cm each)
M3x10mm bolts and M3 T-nuts
Wires
Printed parts:
6x Part01
6x Part02
6x Part02_Mirror
I already show to you guys how to make it step by step in each picture. Just follow them and you can make it.
Here are all those steps:
Step 01: Using 12V LED stripe (1cm in width) and cut to 6 pieces (15cm each)
Step 02: Soldering all 6 LED stripes.
Step 03: Wire out all LED stripes.
Step 04: Make a small board to attach all LED stripes, 12VDC power supply and ON/OFF switch
Step 05: Connect and test all LED stripes.
Step 06: Using a piece of thick tape to cover all circuit board.
Step 07: Using M3 bolts and M3 T-nuts for the board.
Step 08: Attach the board to the frame (below the heated bed)
Step 09: Print 6xPart01, 6xPart02 and 6xPart02_Mirror to make 6 LED stripes holder.
Step 10: Using super glue to attach LED stripe into LED stripe holder (Part01). Remember to attach the Part02 and Part02_Mirror to Part02 before doing this step.
Step 11: Attach all LED stripes to 3d printer frame with M3 T-Nuts.
Step 12: Remove the heated bed and connect all LED stripes to the small board we've made before. For the 12VDC input, you can use directly from 3d printer power supply.
Step 13: For the ON/OFF switch, you can place it in front.
