Description

I wanted to add extra lighting for my printer, but I didn't want to build an LED riser and mess with wiring it to the printer. So I took a battery powered under-cabinet LED lighting kit and built a mount for it.

HOWEVER, i'm sure use can just stick LED strips…I would just make sure they don't get hot!

The mount can be placed anywhere on your top glass, and It can also hook onto the glass's handle for people that prop the glass open.

This is the lighting that i'm using:

12 Inch Motion Sensor Under Cabinet Light Wireless with Remote and Timer, 86 LEDs Rechargeable Dimmable Under Counter Lights for Closet, Hallway, Stairway, Wardrobe, Kitchen, Magnetic LED Lights

Amazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0C58WV34W/

Amazon USA: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Rechargeable-Dimmable-Stairway-Wardrobe/dp/B0C58WV34W/

IF YOU USE A DIFFERENT LIGHT: PLEASE ENSURE THAT IT DOESN'T GET HOT!

The back of the lighting device is magnetic, and includes a metal strip that you can glue to the printed mount. This allows you to easily attach the lighting device to the mount
There are holes in my printed mount for the IR Sensor, and also there is a hole in place to access the USB port for charging - or to keep it continuously powered.
Remote Control also fits inside the mount for easy storage

Nice model! Does the motion sensor on the light keep it on from the printhead moving or does it shut off on you mid-print? How long does the battery last before you have to recharge?

the motion sensor does not get triggered by the print head. I also need to make the hole bigger (I think) to allow for the motion to be triggered by me. also note, I plan to find a way to clip the mount onto the printer, as the vibration from the printer will move it around. haven't had time to design a clip of some sort to hold it in place. the battery keeps it on for a long time, but it gets dimmer to stay on. I keep mine plugged in, but it doesn't hold the max brightness even with it plugged in.
