MakerFarm Prusa i3 LED ring
Description
This Is Definitely A Work In Progress But It Fits Pretty Well And Does What Its Supposed To So I Figured I'D Upload It Even Though I Don'T Consider It To Be Finished. It'S A Six Led Ring That Mounts To The X Carriage Of The Makerfarm Prusa I3 In Order To Illuminate The Work Surface. I Used Some Small Self Tapping Screws To Attach The Ring To The Back Plate. Be Careful Though, As The Channel The Ring Fits Into Is A Little On The Thin Side So It Cracks Easily. Also, The Ring Itself Is A Little Thick So When Z Is Homed, Its Pretty Close To The Build Surface. I Don'T See Any Potential Issues, But Use It At Your Own Risk. These Are Both Things I Plan On Improving In The Near Future (Next Day Or So). *Update I Redesigned The Led Ring And Came Up With A Much Better Design. The V2 Ring Has Only One Part And Bolts Directly To The X Carriage With A Captured Nut. This Offers Much More Clearance, Less Complexity And More Durability. I'M Leaving V1 On Here In Case Anyone Has A Use For It. 02/03/2014: I Increased The Size Of The Captured Nut Hole And Added A Lip On The Back Of The Ring To Keep It Straight. This Version (3.1) Works Pretty Well And I'M Considering Removing The Others.
