I wasn't a huge fan of all the risers out there for the Centauri Carbon, but wanted to fix the abysmal light situation of the printer, so I designed this solution.
Materials I used for this project:
LED Strip 24v: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2Z1V381
Wire: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F37WS7ZG
Connectors for Board: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2R966ZY
You'll need to solder the wire to the LED Strip, and attach the connector to the other end. Route the wire as shown in the photos, and plug it into the “light” connector on the board on the underside of the CC. This port is 24v.
With this, the lid of the CC will sit right on top of the mounting solution for the LED. I've printed a few things with the lid on and have had no problems with the glass sliding around.
Print in PETG with supports. You'll want the ridges that hold the light to be pointing upwards. I had to rotate the model 45 degrees in Elegoo Slicer to get the supports to work the way I needed. I've uploaded a set that is split in four, and another one-piece if you've got a huge printer and can print all at once.
If you'd like to make any remixes, I designed this in OnShape: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cdb522d724ccfaf2fe29799d/w/a9826ccca608f216133937bf/e/3cf1100296b9568598a8fa97
