Creality Ender 3 V3 SE LED Light Bar

This mounts are a combination of the two models: https://www.printables.com/model/3267-led-light-bar-prusa-i3-mk2mk3 - was used as the base model. https://www.printables.com/model/590337-ender-3-v3-creality-light-bar-retrofit - reused the part of the model which screwing into the top of the gantry. No support is needed, but it’s probably better to print this model with a high infill value. The LED profile It is designed to use a regular aluminium profile with a size of 7 x 17.4 mm (9 x 17 mm with a light diffuser). 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Two parts of the profile will be required, each with a length of approximately 295 mm. The LED strip Any LED strip that fits the aluminium profile can be used. If you want to indicate the printer status using different light effects, you may use an addressable RGB LED strip. I used a WS2812B (60 LEDs/m), which is a 5V addressable RGB LED strip. However, I now believe it is better to use a 5V addressable RGBW LED strip, such as the SK6812, which could provide better white light. The LED strip connection for WS2812B (5V) Below, you can find an example of how to connect the addressable RGB LED strip to the mainboard and the power supply. It is necessary to use a step-down DC-DC converter to convert 24V to 5V. I used an LM2596 DC-DC module. The data input pin of the LED strip must be connected to the PC0 pin on the mainboard (see photo below).

Install LED Effects for Klipper . 1. Create the led.cfg file in the Klipper configuration directory with the following content (see LED Effects for Klipper documentation for the details): [neopixel rgb_panel] pin: PC0 chain_count: 36 color_order: GRB initial_RED: 1 initial_GREEN: 1 initial_BLUE: 1 [led_effect front_white] autostart: true frame_rate: 24 leds: neopixel:rgb_panel (1-18) layers: static 0 0 top (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) [led_effect all_white] autostart: false frame_rate: 24 leds: neopixel:rgb_panel layers: static 0 0 top (1.0, 1.0 ,1.0) [led_effect back_idle] autostart: true frame_rate: 24 leds: neopixel:rgb_panel (19-36) layers: breathing 10 1 top (0.5, 0.5, 1.0) [led_effect back_heating] autostart: false frame_rate: 24 leds: neopixel:rgb_panel (19-36) layers: breathing 3 1 top (1.0, 0.18, 0.0) [led_effect back_moving] autostart: false frame_rate: 24 leds: neopixel:rgb_panel (19-36) layers: breathing 3 1 top (0.0, 1.0, 0.0) 2. Include the led.cfg to your printer.cfg: [include led.cfg] 3. Now you can add light status effects to your macros. Here is an example of the START_PRINT macro: NOTE: DO NOT JUST COPY/PASTE THIS!
