Anycubic Kobra X LED Lightbar Now with version 2 for max z height/Diffuser

The Kobra X is an awesome little printer but the lighting is super lacking! I decided to tackle that with a simple and effective led light bar.

This model is now updated to version 2! Version 2 moves the mounting points or the lightbar arms to the back of the gantry, allowing for the maximum z height as well it acts as a clamp for the top of @Jeff_4034832 awesome side spool mounts! If you haven't installed those yet I highly recommend it. side spool mounts-

Version 2 also has a slot where you can insert your led strip and have it run well in the channel.

Assembly-

If you pick the heatset insert version to assemble it you will need to install 2 heat inserts 1 into each z clip mount(print 2 if you do not use the 3mf) they are made for standard voron inserts m3x4x5.

If you choose the m3 hex nut z clip version simply insert an m3 hex nut into the back of the z mount.

Then you will attach the 2 half's of your lightbar together and I recommend a drop of ca superglue on the tab to make sure they stay attached. THis is also a good time to insert your led strip through the hole on the right side and runs your strip and wire in the provided channel.

I have also added a snap on Diffuser as well now, print it in a clear PETG PCTG or PLA! This also strengthens the light bar making it a bit stiffer.

Here is a link to the led strip I used https://a.co/d/0a6pcNCp

If that link does not work just search for 8mm cob usb led strip.
