New version is out, eliminating all the problems this one have :)

Given that the LED lamp installed in the A1 and A1 Mini printers is too weak for any use, I created my own version in Fusion 360 to improve the printer's functionality.

There are two versions. In one version, the LED strip is mounted above the tool head,

while in the other version, it is mounted below it.

The LED bar is very quick and easy to print, and it does not require supports. You can also rotate it as desired.

There are many ways to implement this solution. I use an LED strip with 7 diodes connected to an ESP32, and I control the light through a web browser.

It is also possible to use a 5V LED strip and draw power from any USB port.

One interesting application is using a 24V strip, drawing power from the AMS Lite connector. For that, you will need a MOLEX MICRO FIT connector.

The simplest method requires only a small piece of LED strip, which I believe everyone has in a drawer.
