Extruder LED Strip Holder for Wanhao Duplicator i3 by balassy

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This model holds a standard 5×1 cm piece of 12V LED strip mounted to the front of the extruder bracket (which you can free up by moving the extruder fan to the back with the CiiiCoooler or Fan Duct.
The model is designed to be screwed to the extruder bracket using the original M3 screws, by tapping them directly into the plastic.
The LED strip must be 12V, and you can power it by wiring it parallel to the extruder fan (requires soldering, wires and JST PH connectors).
This model is available in two versions:
Extruder LED mount - more view.stl: this piece has smaller height, so it gives more view to the nozzle, however with this the heater block will slightly shadow the tip of the nozzle. (See the photo with the white piece.)
Extruder LED mount - no shadow.stl: this piece is taller, so it will not drop shadow to the nozzle, but it blocks more view. (See the photo with the black piece.)
