MP Delta Mini LED light ring mount by rjdallas222

This can be used to mount a microsocope ring LED unit to the top of the Monoprice Delta Mini 3D printer. It requires
(1) cup magnet like this: amzn.com/B00HVGK9S4
(1) M5 x 25mm Bolt, 5mm washer, and 5mm nut
(1) LED unit - I like this one since it has the switch and dimmer integrated into the head, so it could be wired directly into the printer's power bus: amzn.com/B0757FWNJ5
Notes:
1) You do need to position it so that it does not pinch or obstruct the Bowden tube and wiring harness. This is not difficult, you just need to pay attention to it.
2) I fed the power cord through the slot used for the Bowden tube. There's plenty of room, and it keeps the cord up and out of the way of any moving parts.
3) It does a very good job of lighting the work surface. Of course it isn't perfect - it can't fully light directly under the printhead - but it does a decent job. I may add 3 side LEDs at the print plate level later, but for now this works great for me.
Enjoy. Let me know if you try it and how it works.
