Description

Why not make a couple of lamps for my Prusa 3D printer?
eBay has some great cheap 12V 4W LED panels for car interior lights (Search: 48 SMD COB Panel LED T10 Car 12V)

I decided to make a design based on the earlier designed ClipOn system for the main Prusa frame.
As the LED panel get very hot when used directly on 12V, there have to be a good ventilation grid for cooling.

Design challenge:

  • All plastic and easy to print (no screws, etc...)
  • As few parts as possible
  • Little to no post-processing of finished printed parts (edges, holes, etc.)
  • Wires should be integrated in the solution
  • Light should be adjustable (direction)

Fits all Prusa i3 MK frames.

Note for MK3: MK3/s/+ uses 24V, therefore you have to use LED panels for 24V or connect two lamps with 12V LED panels in series.
