Switch plate (LED) Ender 5 (Pro)
Description
For Ender 5 (Pro) Edit: 21/8/2021 Changed the name plates by having them stand out, instead of being recessed. I am planning to print in white, then use "Pause at Layer" option in Cura to change the filament to black or grey and finish printing the lettering. Uploaded as E5P SwitchPanel WithNames V2 Edit: The one in the picture was printed in very rough quality as an example. Especially the name plates are not looking good on this pic. ;) Will reprint and upload when I get a chance. After using the Ender 5 Pro for a while, I wanted more light on the build plate, to see what was going on. Especially when printing in darker PLAs. I got some LEDs, switches and wire to mount on the horizontal front extrusion and the two uprights. Should mean I have light from three directions. Standard size, push-in rocker switches: 19mm x 13mm. Would also like to have the lights at the top on independent from the ones on the uprights, or all at the same time. Decided to create a switch panel/box to make the installation neat, hiding the wires and also giving a solid space to mount the rocker switches. I left out as many sides as possible to minimise material use, and shorten printing time. Made two mounting spots on the back for bolts and t-nuts into the Alu extrusion. The box slides in really well, meaning these two mounting points are only there to minimise lateral movement. Created as slots, which makes it slightly easier to insert the t-nuts first, I used printed T's which worked well for this. Including two versions: 1.) E5P_SwitchPanel_WithNames.stl - Blank front with only the two switches. 2.) E5P_SwitchPanel_WithOUTNames.stl - Three spaces indented @ 0.5mm for name plates which I printed in a different colour to make them pop. Name plates included in the file E5P_SwitchPanel_NamePlates.stl Space left at the bottom left of the rear for wiring to exit. Also, you will have to remove the square cap off the bottom left corner (from the aluminium extrusion head) in order for this to slide on.
