24 May 2019 update: Please note that this design does not work with the Artemis if fitted with the newer Eslide system. Also will not work on towers with extruders on them (for dual extruder setups, only one tower is available).
With the Artemis' linear rail system leaving room on the T-slots, I designed a set of diffusers for RGB light strips. Each pillar is in two halves. All were printed in spiral vase mode as one piece. The connecting walls to make it one piece have to be cut away with scissors to separate the 8 sections (Eye protection is required to deflect the shards of PLA flying across the room! Not responsible for any damages!)
Geometry on the bottom sections create ports for the connectors of the LED strips (approximately 0.5in x 0.25in), and notches in the walls retain the connectors in place. Notches on the sides of the pillars connect to the T-slots. Geometry inside causes the vase walls to double over themselves, creating a channel for the LED strips.
Designed in Google SketchUp, sliced with Cura. LEDs were from a cheapo kit that was designed to go on the back of a flatscreen tv. Spliced in some extra USB cable to reach the two towers. The unit is being powered by a USB port on my nearby cable modem. Vase mode allowed it to be printed in about 6 hours.
