LED mount for Hero Me dual 5015 fan duct by Adiyahu

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

Just updated the part cooling duct on my CR-10S Pro from Hero Me 4020 single fan to 5015 dual fan. A great benefit beside better part cooling is a better view to the hotend nozzle.
So I designed this LED mount specifically for HERO ME 5015 dual fan duct, it's easy attachable to the link bar between dual fans.
What else do you need to install:
LED strip x1: 5630-168 dual row, dimension 38x12mm per unit. 6 LEDs in 12V, bright enough to lit the print
Cable tie/tie strap: 2mm or 3mm wide, x1 or x2. OPTIONAL for V2
V1 - the original design
LED bar mount: the initial design
Easy to install, supposed to be snap-fit, but due to the heat generated from the LED, if print in PLA, it will lose the tightness and come off eventually. That's why you need straps to secure, just tie the straps along the designated channel. Still, the PLA part will be deformed a little bit along the tightened straps due to the heat and force.
I haven't tried ABS or PETG (or other high-temp materials), theoretically if the material has higher heat resistance, the part could be perfectly fit without straps.
Light diffuser
( ...not tested & proven yet)
Print in transparent or semi-transparent material, SUPPORT needed. It is designed to diffuse the LED light, in order to make the illumination a little bit softer. It's totally an optional part, and haven't been tested yet.
It might be also affected by the heat, if it get warped, it might become loose and come off.
V2 - improvement
LED bar mount with longer snap leg
Snap-fit very tight, but still becomes loose due to the heat, but won't come off. Use straps to secure it if needed.
Light diffuser V2
( ...not tested & proven yet)
Adjusted for V2 mount, curved surface to fit in tightened straps. Print in transparent or semi-transparent material, SUPPORT needed.
If you have high temp material, please consider use them primarily instead of PLA, heat resistance matters a lot. The perfect situation is strap-free, but with straps it will be definitely secured.
