Prusa I3 MK4/MK4S LoveBoard Cover with Led Indicators

September 17, 2024
Description
There are 4 Led Indicators :
- POWER (Main power supply)
The main power LED indicates the presence of the voltage necessary for the operation of the LoveBoard, 3.3 V. - H-ACT (Heatsink Fan Act)
The heatsink fan cools the hotend components, and includes the heatsink. The associated LED indicates that it is active and rotating. - P-ACT (Print Fan Act)
The print fan directs cool air toward the model while the model is printing. The associated LED indicates that it is active and rotating. - HEATER (Heater Act)
The hotend heating element light indicates that current is flowing through the hotend heating element. When the temperature rises, the light is fully on, while at a warm, stable temperature, it is supposed to flash.
There are two parts to print:
- "Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-cover" which covers electronic components
- "Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-leds" which drives the light of the LEDs
"Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-leds" should be printed in multiple colors (transparent and black) to separate the light pipes.
The heights of color changes are as follows:
- 0.0mm: Transparent
- 3.2mm: Black
- 5.2mm: Transparent
- 8.2mm: Black
- 10.2mm: Transparent
- 13.2mm: Black
- 15.2mm: Transparent
I recommend printing “Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-leds” with a border to ensure stability.
I have print "Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-cover" in transparent PETG (totally and/or partially).
ASSEMBLY
Glue “Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-leds” into “Prusa LoveBoard-R2-V2-cover” as shown in the photos.
