Description
Unfortunately, the Prusa still doesn't come with LEDs, which is a shame because we need to see the prints and we want our printers inside some cabinet so they don't bother us so much with the noise. This is another attempt at having the LEDs installed without compromising the build volume much.
Pic of the table is with only LED lights.
In this case, I compromised 10mm in the height (now max height is 190mm). And that's because I overlooked that the filament needs clearance over it so the extruder assembly doesn't shear it. Somebody more clever could make a curved support to overcome that. As always, the ipts are available for you to change them.
I'm just too lazy, and since the problem only happens in the last 20mm each side, I still have full build height for 200mm of the X axis. Which I never really needed to use!
Have a great day!
