Description

Bambu Lab A1 LED Light Bar remotely controlled by the Bambu Lab app

 

The A1 has a very weak LED, so I modeled this version.

 

Other models did not suit me, they interfered with the bottom of the frame.

 

My LED strip reflector model uses two screws from the top of the frame, or can be attached with double-sided tape, I recommend the white color of the reflector

 

To keep the LED strip from coming loose, you can use hot glue.

 

My first version with the switch was this: https://makerworld.com/en/models/133385#profileId-144663

 

This is the second version:

 

For remote control via the camera, I needed light and I didn't want to shine unnecessarily non-stop, so I came up with this connection.

 

I used the simplest possible connection with a photoresistor and a transistor to control the light via the Bambu Handy or Bambu Studio application

 

Connection is not complicated and can be done by any handyman. It is necessary to check the terminals on the used transistor.

 

The supply voltage is 5V from the USB charger via the input USB-C panel connector.

 

A photoresistor acts as a switch. If you turn on the LED on the A1 printer through the Bambu studio application, the photoresistor will decrease its resistance and open the transistor. The transistor turns on
LED strip.


If you turn off the LED through the application on the A1 printer, the photoresistor increases its resistance and closes the transistor, turning off the LED strip.

 

The photoresistor is located in the tube, which you have to turn to the LED light on the A1 printer.
I recommend a cable for the photoresistor, taking into account the movement of the cable.


These are the materials I use:

 

The supply voltage is 5V from the USB charger via the input USB-C panel connector:

screws 3x12 - 2 pieces (originally from AMS mounting on the frame)


You can also use a 12V input voltage and a 12V LED strip, you don't need to change the other components - tested

 

Light ramp print

 

I created two pads.


the first pad contains everything


the box for connecting cables and components is missing on the second pad - this is for those who want their own solution

 

PLA or PETG
It does not need supports


Thanks for the feedback and the like
