Prusa Mk3 Einsy Door Mod for LEDs
Description
I took the "Einsy Door" replacement file for the Prusa Mk3 and put in a recessed cut out area that I am using for an LED light. This allows me to have light shine under the extruder to see the filament coming out. I recessed the light because the extruder can actually come very close to the side when in operation. I was worried that the LEDs, thin as they are, might get in the way when the head moves all the way left. So now they are flush with the side and will not interfere. I used these lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DRDZCJW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 However, because those are RGB lights the color is too yellow (Looks blue in the pics). Maybe you can find whiter lights that are better. Either way, it works for me to get more light under the extruder. I actually have lights on the opposite side of the printer too, but those are just stuck to the side of the power supply and it does not interfere with the print head. There is also a hole in the top of the part that I used for a small toggle switch to turn the lights on and off. I don't have a part link for that. All of this assumes you know how to do all the soldering and wiring yourself.
