Here is my design of a Lightbar for the Prusa MK2* & MK3(s).
**Features:**
- LED's directly powered by the printer
- Wiring running inside the mount
- Integrated filament guide
- On/Off switch
- Directly wired to the Einsy board
**Hardware needed:**
- Wires
- Switch (10x15mm, standard size, like
this)
- Soldering tools
- 24V LED Strip - up to 10mm thick like the 5050
**Installation Guide:**
1. Cut LED strip to the proper length (up to 21cm)
2. Solder wires to the strip and push them through the cable channel
3. Solder positive wire to the switch and solder another one on the other side of the switch. The negative wire can be pushed all the way through the LED Mount.
4. Connect wires to Einsy Board as shown
here
Here are additional cable clips you might also want to print to hide the wires behind the frame.
I recommend to use the .amf file (use with PrusaSlic3r) as this is already correctly orientated and sliced. If not, take care to not have supports inside the mount.
Also carefully remove the supports around the filament guide!
*If you are using this on the MK2 make sure to buy 12V LED strips and wires needs to be connected differently (directly to the PSU)
