Description
Because this printer is too dark inside. Adapted from design by kerngebiet on Printables, because the light he recommended is not available in the US
First, buy this light from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VDH1GJV
Second, print the cover using ASA or ABS to be more heat resistant. I used black ASA. What? It's too big to fit on the build plate? Don't be a noob, print it diagonally.
Third, click the light inside the cover. The LED side will face the open side of the cover, the back of the light will face the enclosed (hexagon patterned) side of the cover.
Fourth, place your cool new light just in front of the AMS, right up against it. I placed it with the power cord coming out to the right, because:
Fifth, run the wire along the right side of the AMS, out of sight, and then down the back of the printer. Use one of the adhesive clips that comes with the light to anchor the wire close to the printer, so the power switch ends up not too far away from the printer's power switch
Fiat lux !
