Description

Tired of using a flashlight to see your prints? I sure was! Can be printed w/o support. Can print 2 at a time on the K1 if you are careful how you place them. Based on JCs excellent lid riser and hinge! Requires soldering etc… for the LEDs but you likely knew that. Using 24v lights allows you to connect them directly to the power supply for the K1. The full length strips sit flush with the top of the inbetweeners and extend the full length of the side with mitered corners. They provide an 8.5 mm wide area to attach the LED strip that sits at 45 degrees. A small lip makes it easy to glue the lights on and also shades your view from above from the bright LEDs. Makes a HUGE improvement to the amount of light in the print area!!! No more flashlight needed! The photos don't really do the light improvement justice as the phone compensates for the low and high light levels and tries to balance it out. Trust me it's a BIG improvement. Also included is a rear "betweener" that fills the gap in the lid. JC's rear “betweener” did not fit my machine where the chain was mounted…so your results may vary with this piece.
