Adjustable Rail Mountable LED Lights for FT5 or any 2020 rails by Spatz0r

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I had some LED light squares left over from another project. I wanted to put them on my Folgertech FT5, but did not find any good designs to mount them, so I created one. This will mount the lights to the rails on the FT5 and allow you to adjust the angle on the light.
It uses the standard M5 10mm screws with the M5 T Nuts to connect to the frame. Print out one of each part and connect to each other with M3 20MM (or longer) screws and a nut. The light squares are self adhesive, so just stick them to the mounting adapter.
I am powering three of these from the printer power supply. Just wire them into the power supply where you have the fans connected. (Follow cable from fan right below MKS board)
I printed in PETG with 3 walls and 20% infill. Same settings would probably work with ABS or PLA also.
Hardware Needed:
(1 or 2) M5 10mm screws
(1 or 2) M5 T Nuts
(1) M3 20mm screw
(1) M3 nut or lock nut
