Suits Lithopanes 100x100x2.5mm
Plain base included if you don't want to use the LED light strip.
Assembly:
Requires 2 cable ties (left overs from Prusa Kit)
Requires 4 M3 screws (same source, self tapping screws will also work)
Corners glue to 'Base Top' - make sure the little fillet on the inside of the corners is at the top, these support the 'Top Pane Support'
Top Pane Support glues to the inside tops of corners
Box top press fits on top of this.
Using the LED strip lights listed above, IR receiver and Power socket press fit into the lower base, cable tie in place. Upper base screws to lower base.
LED strip wraps around the cone, press fits onto base, RGB controller sits inside the cone. Pop the cone lid on to hide it all. With good cable management it fits.
5050 LED tip: when set to white only - they get quite warm on full brightness, so dim them a bit.
