Robo R2 LED Lighting Mount by red112

The Stock LED lighting is not adequate to see the print in a dark room with the on board camera. I really liked the idea of adding the LED lighting strip to the printer, but I didn't like the idea of the double sided tape to the frame of the printer. So I remixed Kilrah's design by adding small clips to hold the 3D printed strip. The clips are held onto the frame with Robo's existing screws and the screws hold the top of the LED mount. I did add double sided tape in between the 3D printed parts for extra security and to eliminate any rattling. I also added a small front valance to the model to prevent too much light over-spray (credit to WheresWaldo).
The LED lights are 12V strips wired in parallel to the Fan 2 position on the control board. This is were the stock LED's were wired and it was a 12V source.
These parts were printed in PETG to help prevent warping for the heated print bed.
