here is my own standalone light system for my Leapfrog Creatr HS 3D printer. I create it because the single stripe of blue LED on the back side of the print bed is to less for any print surveillance. It is powered by 4x 1,5 V (AA) batteries connected to a step-up DC/DC converter that delivers the 12V/DC power for the white 12V LED stripes. The strips themselve were inside of a standard cable duct (1.1cm width). For more details see the -> Instructions tab <- or feel free to contact me.Print the STL files (two small holders are recommended for each side). You do not have to cut the LED stripe into parts. Look for a blank copper connection for soldering your wire. Now, you can just scratch a hole (with a knife - handle with care :) ) into the silicone from the front until you reach the stripe itself. Clean the copper with the hot end of your soldering iron. Clean your soldering iron from the burned silicone and solder the wires on the copper connectors. Fill the hole with some hot glue and apply a shrink tube to cover it. Drill a hole into the cable duct where the hole of the backplane holder is located. Screw down the battery holder, DC/DC converter and the switch on the 3D printed backplane using some short screws (max. 8mm height, flat head). Connect the switch between the battery clip and the converter. Wire up the parts on the backplane. Diagram follows... Guide the backplane cable duct into its holder and feed in the cable with the LED stripe Snap in cable duct holder on each side and feed them with the LED stripes.
