Now for the serious stuff =>

There are several configurations you can make of this thingie. You can put one of those LED strips in each of the printer pylons, or you can do only two of them, or only one. Or you can use only 1 LED strip segment per pylon instead of 2. It's entirely up to you.

Another thing to mention is that you can do it with minimal effort or you can do it like me with a bit more complex execution.

Basic setup requirements

• Components:

  • Wire length of 2m to 2.5m (22AWG is recommended, but 24AWG should be okay too)
  • LED strip of 1m (60 LEDs) non waterproof (1m is usually the minimum you can buy)

• Tools:

  • Soldering iron

Complex execution setup requirements

• Components:

  • Wire length of 2m to 2.5m (22AWG is recommended, but 24AWG should be okay too)
  • LED strip of 1m (60 LEDs) non waterproof (1m is usually the minimum you can buy)
  • Connectors of your choice (I used Dupont connectors as they are very common)
  • On/Off switch to turn the lights on and off I guess

• Tools:

  • Soldering iron
  • Crimping tool (SN-28B in the case you go with Dupont connectors)

Obviously some wire strippers would be needed and if you want to validate your solder and crimp joints, a use of a multimeter is recommended.

Have fun :)
