Perfect lighting for Ender 3 printer

Got these LEDs for my Ender 3D printer after seeing the idea on YouTube. They are made for it! Luminaires are made in segments of 6 lamps. The rope can be severed at these points. The string is soldered all 5 joints. Should be the way they are made. Heating these joints allows the string to break without being cut. The 6 segment rope is the perfect length for the Ender 3. The rope slides perfectly along the inside of the portal towers and crossbar. I drilled holes in the bottom of the portal crossbar, near both ends, to allow the LED strip to fit into the posts. This kept the string fully in the channels. Solder a few inches of wire to the end that ends next to the power supply. Inside the power supply there are unused power connections for powering the LED chain. I also added a switch on the PSU mount, but that's not necessary. Excellent white light that beautifully illuminates the printing platform while printing. I'm sure they will fit the CR-10 (or other V-Rail printers) but I don't know the power supply for such a printer. I bet they would look great for countertop lighting too! :-) You will have enough left over to start a few more printers!

Pros
  • Handsfree kit
Cons
